Okay, hear me out.

Here are several names that I think Harry should have gone with:

• Regulus

• Rubeus (Or Ruby for a girl’s name.)

• Severus

• Sirius

• And possibly Alastor (Allie for a girl’s name?)

Why these names in particular?

Because their legacies need to carry on.

And Harry should be the one to make it so.

James and Lily were huge in the wizarding world, especially in Godric’s Hollow. Not only is there a tombstone, their house is preserved, and there’s a giant monument of them in the middle of the town. 

Their legacy isn’t going to be forgotten for a while.

In fact, I’m willing to bet that someone somewhere named their kids after them.

And Albus’ legacy will definitely carry on. And he didn’t deserve the namesake anyway I mean really Harry naming your kid after the guy who left you at an abusive household and sent you on all of these missions unprepared?

Also, Luna is still alive. Why did Harry make his daughter’s middle name Luna?

Regulus, on the other hand, is not still alive and there are only a few people in the world who know about his true story. And of those people, Harry is probably the best one to give his child the namesake. 

And just imagine Sirius jumping around in the afterlife, all ecstatic because his little brother’s legacy is going to carry on.

Okay, onto Rubeus.

I mean, I know that Hagrid’s not dead and I know that there are plenty of people who know him but as far as carrying on his legacy, I think Harry should do it

Severus for the same reasons as Regulus. Again, it feels right that Harry is the one who’s helping carry on his legacy. (And for God’s sake, don’t post any hate on this. If you disagree, silently move on.)

Sirius because, again, I can’t think of anyone else who would name their kid Sirius.

And Alastor because Moody was a BAMF. But again, I put him in the ‘maybe’ category because he was a war hero and a lot of people did know him.

Again, the point is to pick people who were amazing, who have some connection to Harry, and who not many (or no) people would name their kids after.

And I know what you’re going to say.

“What about Remus’ legacy?”

Teddy gets Remus. And Tonks. He can name his children after his parents.

“What about Fred!?”

What about him? George already named his son Fred. And yeah, I really think that he’s the one who gets to carry on that legacy, don’t you?

So yeah, in conclusion, I still see the “Albus Severus!?” posts all the time and I just want to remind people of names that really should be names of Harry’s kids because their legacies need to carry on.
