Guilty Pleasure...

[sian-y.livejournal.com]

Just how terrible would it be to use the name Albus? It has been a guilty pleasure of mine for a long time. I really kind of love it and I am seriously begining to consider it for any future sons of mine (still a long way off)!

I feel it will have a lot of Harry Potter connotations.

It reminds me of Harry Potter obviously, but Harry Potter is awesome!

Obviously there will be the Harry Potter association, but much like my beloved Hermione it's a positive one! If you love it just keep it on your list for now. You have time to reconsider it later, or to fall in love with it all over again. Let time be your judge!

I say this because as time went on my naming style definitely evolved.

Exactly, all that popped into my head was Prof. Dumbledore.

That's where I go back and forth on it too, as much as I love Harry Potter, and Dumbledore, it is such an obvious connection that it does make me wary. Even though I love the name in it's own right.

I think a little clunky but Albie is a cute nn, but that makes me think of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

How about Alban instead? Close, but no Harry Potter jokes.

This.

It'd be a Middle-Name-Only one for me, but I actually like it. :)

Just don't use Severus as a middle name. ;D

Actually, it isn't my style, but as far as Harry Potter names go, it's solid. Actually, it's a solid, decent name in general. Go for it.

haha definitely not!!

I do rather like William as a middle name for it.

[piperwest12.livejournal.com]

How about as a middle name something more sedate then Albus; Jacob Albus, Elliott Albus, James Albus

[maddiec24.livejournal.com]

Only if it's a middle name.

[magpiefirefly.livejournal.com]

I think you SHOULD use Severus as a middle name! Go big or go home.

(Although, you would have to release your child's full name with a Spoiler Alert disclaimer.)

While it does remind me of HP, which is awesome, I don't think you should let it stop you! It's a strong name and would work as a first or middle. :)

[madeyemads.livejournal.com]

I would only use it as a middle name. I love Harry Potter, but do you really want yours to be the Harry Potter Kid?

[virtue.livejournal.com]

James Albus is even more Harry Potter related!

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

I didn't even think of HP until others mentioned it.

As long as you're ok with people thinking of Dumbledore, go for it!
