I've heard two theories for Regulus that I like. One in Acturis (I doubt I'm spelling that right), which is another star name. Regulus (I'm told) means "Little King" and Acturis is an old form of "Arthur," so he would be Little King Arthur, putting him in the "good" side rather than evil but gormless. The other theory is that the uncle whose name was burned off the family-tree tapestry had a name starting with A, though I don't remember what it was.
Arcturus? Poor child, stuck with two star names, but why not, in a family devoted to its own astronomical grandeur. It's unlikely he'll turn out to be plain Alan or something, though that would be funny. :)
Hey, maybe Regulus isn't dead at all, but was also secretly an Animagus who would turn into a lion. Or a bear. Or a bear and a lion. Okay, maybe not.
Maybe not. *grin* I like the idea of Alan, actually. I have this image of him trolling the Muggle gay bars, telling everyone his name is Alan, and all his friends telling him it's such a pity he doesn't have a cooler, more distinctive name.
Thank you for the spelling--my brain has been rather Detritus this morning.
