Remus!

[mysid]

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!

I love Sirius as a name on paper, but be an R/S shipper long enough and you'll get SO sick of the "Are you serious?" "Why, yes! I am!" pun that you'd never, ever consider naming a child that. :P
> Well, I've been an R/S shipper for a long time now, but the thing is, I'm French, so the pun wouldn't be a problem for my child ^^ In fact, in French there isn't any obvious pun with this name, so if it wasn't the name of a famous character in a VERY famous book, I'd really consider it. (but I'll wait till I'm finished with school before thinking of children, lol)


I actually vowed that we wouldn't use a HP name, and I literally SCREAMED when I hit the part where Snape's father is named Tobias, because that was the name we picked out for a boy. Fortunately, Tobias Snape is (at this point) a very minor character, so no one but the most ardent fan would catch the similarity, and even West Wing fans (where we DID steal the name from) don't frequently pick up on the Toby connection, so it's no big deal. But I was so mock-furious at JKR for that!
> JKR is evil, we all know that now ^^
