Re: Top 2 Boys Names
I want to like the name Sirius, for the celestial connection. But I hear "serious." If I were introduced to a little Sirius, my first thought would be, "Are they Puritans?" Casper, I love. :-) For my generation (40 somethings) the connection to Casper the Ghost is immediate. But if I can get over that, then I don't see why your generation couldn't see past the HP character(s). [I agree that HP is not a bad image, it's just that the names have other aspects and you'd love them to be seen in their full glory, right?]

I think "Serious" as well despite the sir-e-us prnc but I still love the name. Casper is very cute.

exactement. I want people to appreciate it as a beautiful name, not just as "Oh, Harry's godfather!" It's like, yeah, but, it's also a constellation. PS Sirius = sir-ee-us not seer-ee-us
