I love this name. It's been on my list of favourite baby boy names for years, but I recently named my kitten Morpheus, instead. He's a Siamese kitten, so his face and his body colors will continue to 'morph' for the next two years or so. I think the name suits him. I call him Morphy for short.
I like this name, due to "The Sandman", but it makes me think of a brooding, dark figure. This is again due to the Sandman.

There's a minor villain in the Resident Evil video game series named 'Morpheus', though it hardly ruined the name for me. It flows very nicely and doesn't seem *too* over the top.
This name also was used in Marvel Comics for one of the nemeses of their millionaire hero Moon Knight. Morpheus there is a supervillain who gains his power from an inability to sleep, and therefore to dream.
