Cyrus is the name of my nephew so I'm pretty biased. I've no idea where my brother and sister-in-law got it from because it's fairly obscure - then they went and gave one of my most popular names to his sister,
Amelia! I like
Cyrus, I love the sound and I like it much more than
Silas which has a similar sound but isn't quite there for me.
Not
Quentin, but
Quinten is on my long list, I prefer that spelling because it gives you a better clue of how to pronounce it the way I like it to sound and also makes more sense to give the nickname
Quinn which I love.
In reference to your friend: I think she needs to be bumped on the head.
