Honestly, I don't think it's usable on a real child. It's too closely associated with the dragon.

It's an old GP of mine. Im'not really sure if it's usable though. There are worse names out there that I consider a GP-only name, so I'd rather meet a little Spyro :)

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!! I can never get away fro m Skylanders!!!!! If I meet one day n real life I'd think their parents were obsessed.

I don't know the game, but I quite like the name.. a name that would perfectly in the HP world. Realistically it's more usable on a pet.

Sure. I don't like it much, but I wouldn't blink if I met one IRL. It's usable.

Much prefer Spiro.. less like the game!

We have a big Greek population so Spiro is not uncommon here.

It's okay. Personally, I'd use the similar sounding name Sparrow

I immediately thought 'spirograph' and that's it. It doesn't strike me as terrible, but it's doesn't seem particularly likable to me either. I'd probably want to call him Ro, which I do like.

Hi !!!

---

I pronounce Spyro (the little dragon) as SPIE-raw.

---

But I like the name Spyros because is a strong, cute and youthful Greek name imo. It means 'spiral, basket' and Spyros Theodoridis is a famous chef here.

Agh, Spiro - I heard that name as a child, on Spiro Agnew, and thought it was really cool sounding. But then I grew up and figured out that Spiro Agnew was a rather dishonorable character. Alas.

---

I still think Spyridon and Spyro are cool sounding.

---

But the game character pronounces it SPIE-ro. That seems really dumb to me... cringe.
It's usable the way that Kylo and Kal-El are usable.
Spyro "SPEER-o" is usable though, imo. Would be more so, if not for the game.

I don’t think it’s too usable in the US. I don’t know how well known the game is but it’s all I can think of.
