Dont know if this is any help but in one of my name books i found this
SIRIOS- female name-from the greek, Seirios,glowing, burning.

i expect one of our resident Greek experts can tell you if this is correct or not:) as name books are not always reliable lol

Indees, Sirius is the Latin form of the Greek Seirios meaning "scorcher". "Seirios kyon" is indeed the Dog Star. Seirios is used as an adjective for the sun ("aktis seiria" = ray of sun)and of things that are warm ("seirion himation" = a light summer garment).
I could go in forever, but I'm sure you had enough :)

No idea about Kenshin, never even heard of it, but Sirius is also known as the Dog Star - a very bright one that signalled the start of the Dog Days, the hottest days of the (Northern hemisphere) summer. As a child I read a book which contained a performing dog whose stage name was Sirius because he was a star, but who was a Scottie and looked very serious, so his name worked on two levels!

I think Sirius is a constellation, I dunno, but it's the name of Captain Haddock's friend's ship in the comic books *Tintin* by Herge.

To be precise, I haven't encountered many.
Do you know how to get the first two? Tintin in the Congo and I-forget-what? I have to pay money to my library for only one I think, and I'd prefer to buy since they're so rare...Haven't found them on the www.

Crumbs!
This is goind to make you jealous, but I was in Brussels recently and visited the Herge Museum :) Bought a great Snowy poster, and a copy of "Tintin au Pays des Soviets" (Tinin in the Soviet Union) dating from the 20s.
And now for the good news: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0867199024/qid=1044520351/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-0432637-1687304?v=glance&s=books
