Thanks for your input! And yeah, putting Persephone and Priscilla does make it sound like they're wicked step sisters, lol.
I love Albus. I know that I got it from Harry Potter, but I wonder how many years will it take for that association to die off? It isn't like Gandalf (sp?).

The direct association will probably die off in ten years or so, maybe less. New generations will always be reading Harry Potter, but it won't be the frenzy that it is today. Right now, if you named your baby Albus, almost everyone would make a Dumbledore comment. In ten years, not so much.
I'd say Albus and Gandalf are a little different. Albus is an ancient Roman name, while Gandalf is named after a dwarf in Norse mythology. I would be much ore surprised if I met a person named Gandalf! On the other hand, I think Albus is old-fashioned but rather "normal" sounding as far as names go.
