I like it a lot. I wouldn't use it as a first name myself, but I wouldn't mind to see it used in the first name spot, and I'd definitely consider it as a middle name.

I just think of Captain Kirk. I'm a nerd and can't help it. It's kinda heavy for a kid or a meek or mild personality, but there's Ty as a really cute nickname and Tiber when they're older.

It's a fun name, but I think it's better kept in the middle spot or used for a pet :)

I have a friend who is an uncle to a baby Tiberius, who is affectionately called "Tibbers" (I find this cringe-worthy). My friend makes nasty jokes about the name all the time.

It feels like a burdensome name to me; there is a heaviness to it and there's very few options for cute nicknames (the only one I can think of is Ti/Ty). Tibs/Tibby/Tibbers sound downright embarrassing and remind me of cats.

I like it! One of my friends it as a mn to his son...never having seen Star Trek, I assu.ed after the emperor. Nope! He's such a nerd!!

Captain Kirk!

I don't hate it, but it's a lot.

I think it's neat. It's very unique, and has a really nice sound to it. Cool! I like it!

Not a huge fan. The -us ending seems unnecessary in modern English and the meaning is pretty blah.

I'm indifferent to it, but I would definitely assume that a little Tiberius has Trekkie parents. I agree with Fiammetta that Tiberio sounds nicer.

I hate it! It sounds like a name for a vicious Rottweiler or something. (I hope my reply wasn't too harsh; all the others seem to be friendly opinions...)

Love it.

I had written a series of short stories when I was a teenager and one of the characters was Tiberius "Tibby".
It is vaguely on our list for middle names.

Timaeus is one of my favorites, and I like Liberius as a GP, so I should probably like it based on sound, but I think of the Roman emperor and 'tyrant'...when I imagine it on a kid. I think "little tyrant".

I quite like it, reminds me of Captain Kirk. It’s a bit overly buff and in your face, but I dunno, I can imagine having a Tiberius somehow.

I don't mind it. I prefer Tobias

I always makes me think of J.T Yorke from Degrassi (His full name is James Tiberius) who is not necessarily a bad connotation however I don't like having a large fictional connotation to a name because I don't want that to be all I think about when I hear the name.

I do think it's a nice name but I wouldn't use it due to the connotation and I think it's a bit out there for me.

I prefer the Italian version Tiberio. It reminds me of the psycho Roman emperor, more than anything else.
