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)

It's sort of like naming your kid Sony, imo.

You know, surprisingly enough that company never once crossed my mind. :P

Oh well. I love the name, still.

[magicpointeshoe.livejournal.com]

Cool beans then! Plus who knows what the company will be called once the merge with XM gets approved.

I love the Harry series, but I don't like the character Sirius, and I don't like the name because of that.

Harry aside though, I don't like the pronunciation/correlation of "serious" - for I wish none of my children to be serious people. I don't know, I just don't like the word.

I think Christine sounds better and I like it :)

[cherrysorbet.livejournal.com]

I also don't like the character Sirius and am reminded of "serious" whenever I hear the name... I like Remi Christine though!

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Are you pronouncing Sirius as Sir-ee-ous? It reminds me too much of 'serious' and 'cereal', but maybe I'm not saying it right.

I was a bit baffled at Remi paired with Christine/Grace, since Remy is pretty much established as a boy's name!

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.

Thumbs Up for Sirius

I like Sirius and it's close pair Cyrus as well.

Your girls names are unusual and interesting. I'm not sure if you're aware or if you care, but Remi is traditionally a nickname for Yirmiyahu or Jeremiah.

Personally, Sirius Arthur is way too Harry Potter for me. I'm okay with Sirius, but I wonder if you might consider a middle name different than one of the story's main characters. (Arthur Weasley). It's a little too much, I think. That book is going to be pop culture forever.

Sirius Arthur - fantastic, absolutely love it.

Remi - It's a French boys name.. so I can't get on with it as a girls name whaoever. I think I prefer Remi Christine though. Remi Grace feels too short and Grace to getting so tiresome as a middle name.

My cousin's son was called Harry James, and he was born on July 31st.. HP's birthday.

They didn't realise until I pointed it out to them a couple of weeks later..

[confusedanswers.livejournal.com]

haha.. Sirius Arthur.. I smile cause that's two potter names, not just one (Sirius, as you know, and Arthur is The elder Weaasley (Ron's dad)).. but I like it.

Remi is too boyish for me for a girl.. and Remi Grace I feel sounds the best, if you have to use Remi.

My sister named my nephew Sirius Lee, as in Seriously.

Not even joking one bit.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

of course you're not joking, you were talking Seriously :D

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

Sirius and Remi sound really cute together to me.

Re: Thumbs Up for Sirius

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

HA! Thats great.

[quite-rosie.livejournal.com]

A little boy I had in my class had a brother named Sirius. I agree, it does sounds like "serious".

As for a name, I'm torn.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

all i think of is satellite radio

[christhiane.livejournal.com]

A bit off topic, but I don't like Sirius either! I hardly ever meet people who don't.

[christhiane.livejournal.com]

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

And ditto.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

I like Sirius a lot, actually. I prefer Remi Christine, and Grace pretty much goes with any first name you could pair it with...

[aballard23.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's how it's pronounced. It's derived from Osirus. Lol.

And yes, Remy is generally a name for a boy. But his sister's name was Remi, and I actually really like it.

Re: Thumbs Up for Sirius

[aballard23.livejournal.com]

Most definitely not. I love the combination, and Arthur was my grandfather's name. I'm pretty stuck on my first boy being named Sirius Arthur, lol.

And I wasn't aware, but like I said- his little sister passed away, and that's the biggest reason for naming our daughter Remi.

His Mom was seriously odd and into 'unique' names. His name is Bade, and I've NEVER heard it used, although it's legitimate!

[aballard23.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey! Good news that they're merging, haha. I really don't like satellite radio, so I don't really keep up with it. :D

Re: Thumbs Up for Sirius

[crossingthesea.livejournal.com]

That's quality. He's a lucky boy.

Let's just hope his first year goes scarless.

Re: Thumbs Up for Sirius

[crossingthesea.livejournal.com]

I like Remi a lot. And of course there is a very important reason for using that name because of his sister.

Where did Bade come from? It sounds like a name, don't know why it isn't. I see no difference between Bade, Wade, and Dade, except that Bade is the best of those. Jade is a "real" name, but it's obvious from where that sources.
