Tough to do – I know a set of five sons with similar names, and they repeat the -ah and -iah endings. As for Miley Cyrus? I think the bigger headache is that he might be mistaken for Silas, a similar name on the rise.

I’m so glad you already profiled this one. It’s a couple of years down the road from the Miley Cyrus craze – right??? I didn’t even think of it when I came across the name today, reading Isaiah 44-45 in the Bible. Then I looked on Bible Gateway’s site and found all the references in the entire Bible, and boy, are they all positive! Loving this name – top of the boys’ list as of an hour ago. . . Think it goes with our other boys – Judah, Boaz, Levi and Gideon?

Played by Selma Blair.

It’s got quite a lot of history and style – great list of historical Cyruses, Lola – but the Miley/Billy Ray association doesn’t help. And so Cy Young was born Denton True … must remember that for future trivia games.

Gotta love Google, Elisabeth. Cyrus and Conrad sound like a perfect sibset to me. Never in a million years would I have imagined the question you found!

I googled Cyrus and Conrad together, and came up with “Who is prettier? Miley Cyrus or Lauren Conrad?” Ugh.

It gives off a strong cowboy feel to me, which I can’t decide if I like or not. I definitely do not like the potential and perhaps inevitable nickname Cy.

And, well, I met a Cyrus who was a complete burnout. So it’s ruined for me, but it’s really a great revivial name. Cyrus>Jayden, you know? I think I would still use it had I a Cyrus in the family tree.
