Remus!

I was in my children's school yesterday and spared a glance for the kindergarten bulletin board--lovely pictures of "Our Trip to the Pumpkin Farm." One of the picutes bore the signature "Remus."

Either someone's mom and dad are big fans of the "Uncle Remus" stories, or--far more likely--are big fans of our favorite werewolf.

Remus! That's so cute!

Cute !
It's a pity HP became so famous in a certain way, because I love original names and I always thought that Sirius was a really beautiful and stylish one (I mean, I fell in love with the character in book one only because of his name ! Well, ok, maybe a little bit because he had a flying motorbike too. I'm such a girl).
But anyway, now it's too famous, and I wouldn't dare to name a child Sirius (poor baby would be teased too much. And I would feel cruel giving a name associated in my mind to the character's tragic fate, too ^^;)

Awww, this is so cute. I always liked the name Remus, simply because I like many names with the suffix -us, e.g. Darius, Marcus, Marius etc.
If I ever felt crazy enough for becoming a mother, I'd have no problems naming the child Sirius or Remus. =) Mothers have the right to be evil.

Hee!

I don't have kids... Or plan on having any... So I did the next best thing: I named my cat 'Remus'. XD
