[Opinions] Re: How would you..? (30/12)
I'd seriously consider using Alastor, simply because it closely resembles Alastair, though I know there is no connection. Hector would be good: it has pleasant Scottish links in my family. Linus is more closely associated with Peanuts than Greek mythology, but perhaps this connection is fading: do namers still know about the little boy and his blanket?
For a daughter, Penelope wins hands down. Every time I see the name Pegasus, I think of Peggy-Sue, but that's a long way from reality, alas.

Alastor Moody is a pretty cool, though fictional, namesake!My nephews, now young teens, don’t seem to make the connection with Peanuts. But in my time it was more a girl thing.I love Penelope too and she has so many nickname options (Nell, Nellie, Poppy, Penny, Pip)
