Harry Potter question?

Does Sirius Black have a middle name?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Sirius Black is probably like most people and does have a middle name. However, there is almost no chance J.K. Rowling will reveal it, or even has invented one, because it's not important to the story.

In dynasty families like the Blacks, children are usually named for prominent ancestors. Sirius Black is actually the third Black by that name, according to the Black family tree found in HP Lexicon. So, we can assume middle names would be dealt with in the same way. Perhaps "Phineas" after his great-something-grandfather, a headmaster at Hogwarts, or "Orion" after his father, or "Cygnus" after his uncle, father of his cousin Bellatrix (Lestrange.)
