I feel like the connotations are too strong in this name to use it for a child. It's very hard not to associate it with something like a stoic judge or king, so it would be jarring if a Regulus grew up to be a free spirit or energetic daredevil. And it wouldn't be very nice to force a child to grow up a certain way for a certain role.

I love this name. Not just because of Harry Potter (and I think only true fans know it is from Harry Potter so there is not too much association), but it sounds strong. Regulus, the character, is strong and an unsung hero.

This name has grown on me considerably after re-reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows followed by (I'm sure) hundreds of Marauder era / pre-Azkaban fanfics.
The character of Regulus Black (although we don't know much about him canonically) gives the name a strong feeling of cunning and bravery.
If I were to name my child Regulus, I would do so hoping that he would grow to be very intelligent and ambitious.

There is an ongoing confusion regarding the names Regulus and Regula. Regulus is the diminutive form of rex, king, and therefore means "little king", hence the name for the bright star in the constellation Leo. The stars Regulus, Arcturus, and Spica form the "spring triangle". Regula sounds like the female variant of Regulus, but is not. It means rule (or ruler) and is the name of a rather unknown early medieval saint (at least unknown outside Zurich, Chur, and Andermatt – all places in Switzerland). In fact: could you imagine an early medieval martyrized christian saint who is called "little queen"? Rule (as in "regula sancti Benedicti" / the rule of St Benedict) is clearly more fitting. Brief: even if Regulus and Regula do sound like the two sides of the same coin, they are not. [noted -ed]

Regulus is a star in the Leo constellation. It's actually a system of four stars in two pairs. Regulus is among the brightest objects in the night sky, ranked 21st in brightness, and most of the light is generated by Regulus A, a blue-white main-sequence star orbited by what is probably a white dwarf.
