The awesomely-named actor Titus Welliver played Silas Adams (the awesome continues) on Deadwood and had a small role as The Man in Black / Jacob’s nemesis in Lost at the end of season 5.

I’m sure he’s a doll, Sara! And I’m glad his name suits him so well. I quite like Titus!

And I envy you your height! I’m a shrimp, and both of my kids are on track to tower over me.

My son’s name is Titus. When we were searching for names, the books we read gave the name the meaning “Giant”. I am 5’9″ and my husband is 6’4″ so the name seemed fitting for who we felt Titus might be physically and who we hoped he might be in character and spirit. So far he’s off the charts for height and with his stocky build, blue eyes framed with long black lashes, and curly blonde hair, he looks like he could be a child of the Roman gods. (Not that I’m biased.) His sweet and friendly disposition seals the deal – Titus is a fantastic name.

Titus has grown on me over the months. It has a zippy, fun feel to it while still being rather serious and manly. If anything, that’s the one downfall to me. It’s almost a little too manly, a little superhero-ish. Still, I love its pedigree. And any name that slightly borders on over-the-top always appeals to me.

In that way, Bek, I guess Titus is similar to Priscilla. Historical and biblical pedigree, over-the-top feel and a first syllable that turns most people off. LOL.

I can see the appeal.. don’t think I’d use it though. I think I like Cassius better!

I really like Titus. It falls into the “biblical names that I don’t understand why they aren’t used more often” category.

The only drawback I see to this name (and the thing that makes me hesitate to use it) is that it sounds almost like “tight a**.”

Oh, meant to add that I usually find this name is either loved or hated… no real grays on this one. haha.
