The connotation with Cyrus The Great is fantastic. A brilliant king who allowed every religion and faith in his empire (almost 600 years before Jesus' birthday). A person whose name is remembered by human rights. Its cool historical background aside, this name is beautifully written and heard.

Cyrus is a very handsome name for a boy and it also regards as elegant. Miley Cyrus is a very great association and I love her music, and this is her surname. Cyrus does not make me think of a girl, just because it’s her surname and she’s a girl! As a first name, it’s strong and masculine and it’s great for a boy!

My son's name is Syrus. He's 9 years old and likes to introduce himself as Sy and thinks Syrus the Virus sounds cool. He likes his name, he's often complimented on his name and he doesn't get made fun of. I told him about the Great Persian King named Cyrus and he thought that was awesome.

I don't really like Cyrus (the appearance and pronunciation don't do anything for me), but I can see it in a more "old-fashioned" setting... somehow, when I see it used on young children at present, it seems diluted, comical, artificial and overblown, and in perfect name trend of recent years (which tends to include anything remotely pretentious, or kre8tiv). Cyrus seems a bit pompous to me.

I really like this name. It's strong and classic, but very uncommon. I've never met a Cyrus in my life. But... As much as I hate to admit it, I do think it may remind a lot of people of Miley Cyrus because its so uncommon as a first name. It's a shame, too, because it's a great name.
