So, me and my boyfriend LOVE the name Sirius for a boy. Not because of Harry Potter, but because.. it's just an awesome name.

Pretending Harry Potter never existed, what do you think? If in the future we have a son, we're naming him Sirius Arthur. Although it's unfortunate that my boyfriend's last name begins with a T, it's not as bad as it could be. Arthur is after my grandfather that passed away.

And in the case of a girl, it's definitely Remi Christine, or Remi Grace. Remi was his sister's name, and we've agreed on Christine but I'm sorta stuck on Grace for a middle name, too. I just don't know which sounds better together, but I'm open to using Christine or Grace as a sibling's middle name as well..   

Also, what are good twin names to pair up with the following.

Sirius Arthur (m)

and

Remi Christine/Grace (f)

As some others have pointed out, I don't like that Sirius sounds so much like 'serious'. In Dutch we'd pronounce it See-ree-us though, and I do like that =).
Remi/Remy is a boy's name to me.

It's the Norwegian pronounciation, too, which I also prefer to the English pronounciation.

And ditto.

I'm confused ... that's how I pronounce it in English, and it sounds like serious.

Yeah.. That's how I pronounce it too, but I don't really mind. It makes for awesome jokes when baby gets old enough to be like 'I'M SERIOUS!' .. lol.

We say the 'us' different too, but it's impossible to explain the exact pronunciation over the internet. Alas, it doesn't sound like serious anymore then =).

Besides, I pronounce Sirius (in English) like Sere-ee-us ('sere' as in 'mere').

Mm. I pronounce it 'seer-EE-us' lol.

So.. serious. o_O

Hahah. Let's just agree that this name could cause pronunciation issues.

I very much agree. It's okay, my name is Alicia- I get it mispronounced a lot. :(
