Of all the astrological names —think Leo, Aries, Gemini— Scorpio probably has the most dramatically potent presence, which could prove something of a burden to a young boy.

Scorpius is the constellation that the Scorpio zodiac sign originates from. It was given its venomous name due to the constellation's resemblance to a scorpion's tail.

The only bearers of this name are fictional, such as the Naruto character Sasori of the Red Sand.

Animal name with some serious sting to it, Scorpion is one of the unique baby names that should probably stay that way.
