THOUGHTS ON CYRUS

[wattlegirl]

What does everyone think of this for a boy's name with Cy as a nn?

I know it is an old name and rarely heard, but is it nice or horrible?

[burgatroyd]

Billy Ray...

I think its odd.

[squoosh]

I like it although it does remind me of John Malkovich's evil character, Cyrus the Virus, from Con Air.

[Mammanat222]

Cyrus the damn virus - yep made me think of Con Air too!

[MoominKoalaAndMiniMoom]

Not keen, plus everyone will associate it with Miley/Billy Ray Cyrus and assume you named him after them... also Cyrus The Virus

[Showy]

Bad guy out of The Matrix.

Cyrus the Great (aka Khoresh): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrus_the_Great

[Rhubarbgarden]

Oh I love it. Cyrus the Great. Fabulous name. I also love Darius.

[Gingerjv]

I do not like Cyrus( just not good at all to my mind(

[SublimeCorpse]

Love it! I think it's a cool name!

[rachel234]

Cyrus is a great name - cool, classic, underused!

[jaundicedoutlook]

Great if you're Iranian and celebrating Persian heritage.

Also great if you want to fit in on the trailer park...

I like it but then DP is Persian. I'm pregnant with DC2 and it's a definite contender if we have another boy.

Weirdly Romanian gymnast from the 80s Aurelia Dobre has four boys-Darius, Marcus,Lucas and Cyrus. These names work well in many countries. Her husband is Iranian.
