Technically, Faris and Ferris are two different names with two different pronunciations, but I know a Faris who pronounces his name just like Ferris. That being said, I lovelovelove the name Ferris, and I think it is totally usable. To me, Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a good association. The character is charming, clever, and cool. The movie is probably why I love the name as much as I do. I wouldn't worry about the movie association too much though. I doubt too many kids these days are going to know who Ferris Bueller is anyway! At least, my friends (ages 17-22) didn't know what on earth I was going on about.
