Newt Scamander is the main character in J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Also, when I was scrolling through the Harry Potter Wiki, I found that Luna Lovegood marries a guy named Rolf Scamander, which, as I research more was Newt Scamander's grandson, which means Luna is related to Newt Scamander.
This name given to me at birth I hold in high regard, this name NEWT is not for the weak, trust me... my strength and character with an unpopular name, came from having this name itself. Yes I was picked on about my name in elementary school. BUT... JR High and High school! A handsome young man, with a funny name had it's benefits. So for me, this actually being my given name, life has been good with it so far. So... in closing, if you have a PROBLEM with the Name NEWT...In the good spirit of Bernie Mac (rip) NAMEYOUROLEPUNKA$$KID SOMETHING ELSE And for you slow people (name your old punk a$$ kid something else).
The name would be okay as a shortform of Newton, but I'm not sure about just being named Newt.

Newt? A newt is an amphibian. What kind of a name is Newt (unless of course your real name is Newton and people don't call you Newt too frequently)? Not one I'd use, obviously.
Fun fact, I live in the same town as the actor, Hemel Hempstead, he's very lovely and so is his fiance.
