I love the name Draco and I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, but as much as I love Draco Malfoy I wouldn't want anyone to think of Harry Potter when they think of my child.

While I'll probably always love this name, I'll also always associate it with Harry Potter. Though, I could probably like it on a child... It's better than naming your kid Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way.

This has a cool sound and one of the best meanings I've ever seen! But it does strike me as kind of a one-character kind of a name, now. I'd be thrilled to meet a little Draco, though I'd never use it myself.

Agreed !

Draco was my second favorite character in the book after Harry. Such an amazing name.

I don't mean to be rude to anyone, but those saying that Harry Potter 'ruined' Draco by using it for a villain... It had that association a long time ago. A Greek tyrant by the name of Draco was known for his cruelty. He would have someone hanged if they even stole a loaf of bread. Just saying.

I love the name Draco, for all it's root meanings and such and it sounds very nice to me, much better then simply using Drake, of which I prefer Blake. Draco is one of the few O sounding names I adore. And as much as I love Harry Potter too, I don't think I could use it.

What a Draconian thing to do to your child (ba-dum-tiss)

This is my youngest sons name and has everything to with the meaning/origin and nothing to do with Harry Potter...even though I love all the movies/books and own them all!!

Draco is cool for a lot of reasons-- Latin roots, astronomy related, the "dragon" meaning-- I don't think anyone should be put off by the Harry Potter connotation. For one thing, Draco is not Harry's "nemesis," that would be Voldemort. Draco Malfoy is a complex and interesting character, and makes the name more appealing, not less, in my opinion.

I LOVE this name! I am a huge Harry Potter fan and I think naming my future son, Draco, is a great way to honour that. It is just so elegant and handsome sounding. Of course it doesn't hurt that Draco Malfoy is one of my favorite characters.

We're using this name for our baby if they are a boy. We were originally going to go with Cayden however we knew a person who was a jerk with the name so we decided to find another. After looking at magickal names, Draco and Drake were both on the list. my husband and I were wanting something dragon related, and it was between those two. I like Draco sooooo much more than Drake. While I am a huge Harry Potter fan, and absolutely adore the complex character that is Draco Malfoy, he is not the inspiration behind the name.
