In Harry Potter, the names of children from pure-blood families are often drawn from ancient mythology, constellations, and stars. Though not every pure-blood family follows this rule, some prominent families, such as the Blacks and Malfoys, generally do. Coming up with names for pure-blood characters in fanfiction can be a real headache, so I've compiled a selection of names from Greek mythology and constellations and stars. Feel free to use them or add to the list.
Note: Some names and their translations have been adjusted to read more naturally in modern writing, but some interpretations may be a stretch. Corrections are welcome.
Theme: Collecting references and names.
Arcturus is the grandfather of Sirius and Regulus, and is also the middle name of Regulus.
Arcturus should be Sirius's grandfather or maternal grandfather, the man who received the Order of Merlin First Class because he donated a large amount of money.
These names are so hard to pronounce
I'm not a gangster, big brother. The pronunciation of Iris, the goddess of rainbow, should be Iris.
Ah ah ah ah, are you a god?! Thank you for your hard work in this world! Wow!
Arcturus is the middle name of Regulus Black (??????)??
