To avoid any Malfoy comments, tell everyone that you're named after the constellation! This name is cool, but because of, you know, the association and everything, I wouldn't use it.

I think of Draco Malfoy. He’s not a bad association, but he would get some remark on him, plus he might not like Harry Potter.

Kind of a guilty pleasure for me, it's such a cute name. I'm a sucker for astrological names as well and the Harry Potter books, not the films though. As for the character association, I don't hate Draco Malfoy's character, it's just, you know...yeah.
I love the nickname Coco for Draco, it's just darling!

This is a great name! There is, of course, the Harry Potter association, but I rather like Draco Malfoy. I'll admit there are a lot of questionable characters I like, Draco being one of them, but all in all, he's a good kid in a bad family. And he has a nice name.

This looks like a villainous name because it has the prefix Drac in it. And it just gives me unpleasant feelings.

I like it, but Draco Malfoy isn't neccesarily a favourite of mine. He has a nice ring to his name, but he's still a bee with a slight itch.

Since I'm more of a Puyo Puyo fan than a Harry Potter fan, this name reminds me more of Draco Centauros than of Draco Malfroy.

This doesn't even seem like a real name to me at all, and I feel like this is a name some edgy teen parents would give their son because they feel like he will be a baby forever.

I wholeheartedly agree with all the other Harry Potter fans. However, I'd like to add that Draco Malfoy wasn't exactly a bad kid, just an unlucky soul born to a couple of death eaters who only showed him how to hate.
If anyone has watched the Broadway play or read the playwright for JKR's Cursed Child, the adult Draco would of had his dad rolling around in his grave and Draco, who hated his parents would of been happy to anger old Lucious for marrying a muggle and having a loving and nerdy boy with her.
Bottom line is this, if I chose the Name "Draco" after the HP character it would be because he would be strong, loving and caring and doesn't care who he upsets in the process. As it isn't what you do in life that defines you, but how you recover from adversity that greater defines you as a man.

I love this name! Draco is such a strong and powerful name. I would name my son Draco. After seeing the Harry Potter films, I became obsessed with this name.

The name Draco was given to 51 baby boys born in the US in 2012. It sounds quite strange as a first name to me. I guess if he went by Drake it wouldn't be as bad.

It sounds pretty weird as a name. I can easily picture hordes of Draco Malfoy fangirls screaming in delight whenever they see Tom Felton's portrayal of him on the screen.

My oldest son's name is Draco and when ever I say his name I'm always asked if I got it from Harry Potter. The name is very strong and unique which is what I love about it and it fits my son perfectly. I hope that one day we won't get asked constantly if we got it from Harry potter and who knows, maybe he will run into another Draco one day.

I love the name Draco, that's what I want to name my son if I ever have one. I'm a big Harry Potter fan, and that's the first time I ever heard the name and loved it. And I happen to like Draco Malfoy.

The draco plant (Daemonorops Draco), also called the draconis palm, secretes a reddish-brown resin called Dragon's Blood. The resin was used as a varnish in the 18th-century and is still used as a dye. It can also be collected, rolled into spheres, and hardened. The hardened resin began showing up as a street drug in the 90s under the name "red rock opium," but it's more a scam than anything else; it contains no opiates, and its effect is more nauseating than anything else.

Here's an idea: name the kid Drake! My opinion has pretty much already been expressed several times; it's a great name on its own and most people wouldn't even know about it without Harry Potter, but a kid bearing it now would have a horrible time of it. Drake also means dragon, though I don't like how all the consonants are squished into one syllable, unlike Draco. Draco ends with an o which I always like :) but unfortunately people would assume Draco's parents are nutty (to say the least) death-eater obsessed freaks. Anyway, Drake is a good alternative to Draco.

I really like this name, but it will probably always and forever be connected to Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter books/movies.

I am naming my son this. However, only after I have a son named after another constellation. I picked these names out since May of 2009, two years ago. If I have a daughter, I will also name her after a constellation (it is already picked out, yes).
I am big on Astronomy. It is a name that I had to warm up to, as to the other names. My little nephew, when I showed him the constellations (because they have a globe which shows the constellations on the night sky) who was 4 at the time and not an English speaker (from Europe) said Draco so darn cute! He pronounced it perfectly! I was surprised because our language is not even from Latin! Anyway, I loved how he said the name Draco! It is one of my favorite constellations as well! But still, another boy's name will beat this one! Cough cough, starts with a C ends in an m...

I just love this name. I don't think I have the guts to use it due to pop culture right now, which is a shame. I always did like Drake, but thought it was a bit unrefined. Just my luck that it's nicer, softer-sounding parent form is stuck on a fictional villain.

All of you people who think Draco, Bellatrix, Harry, etc. have been ruined by the Harry Potter series, go shove your head in a sandbox, please. It would make the world a much better place. They have been given immortal life by being put into great literature. Not expectations on how to live.
And anyone who would make fun of such names, go join the others in the sandbox. Thank you.

I absolutely ADORE the name Draco, actually. I don't associate the name with the meanie Draco, but the fanfic Draco who is uber-awesome. If I had a son I'd probably name him Draco. Or one of a multitude of other names. At the very least it would be a middle name.

I first heard the name on Draco Malfoy, but after learning about the name I do not associate it with him when I hear it anymore. I think it is a cool name, I really like the meaning and despite Draco Malfoy I think it is still a usable name and would make a wonderful first or middle name.

Personally I LOVE this name, and I think Malfoy's cool and hope JKR will make him nicer in the 7th book so if I name my kid this people don't go, "Isn't that the name of the bad guy in Harry Potter?" Draco is also the name of the dragon in Dragonheart.

This name hasn't been spoiled for me, as I think I liked Draco far more than Harry, I don't know why! But it is a good name, then again, if anyone hears this name, especially a child, the automatic reference to Harry Potter comes up. To some people it may not occur that these were real names before they were 'Wizardised', and that it is acceptable for use in our real world.

Draco is an amazing character in Harry Potter. I still believe Draco is good. If I ever have a son, Draco is the first name on my list! I believe having such a widely known evil character has only incresed the popularity of the name. It is AMAZING!

I think it's quite sad that this name was given to the Harry Potter villan so I hope something puts him in a better light in the next book but I think it's unlikely that this will happen. Maybe the name is a bit heavy to bear and that's why Malfoy is a bit warped. Such a pity as I love this name.

My son's name is Draco. Granted his father chose the name, but I think it is a strong name that should not be given lightly to a child because of the meaning and the bearing of the name.

It's a pity this name has been spoiled by the Harry Potter series. It's a nice name with an excellent mythological connection, but I wouldn't dare adorn a kid with it, not with Malfoy being one of modern literature's best-known villians.

Draco was the first law scribe of ancient Athens, Greece. The laws, transcribed in 621 BC when he was archon eponymous, were particularly harsh: the death penalty was the punishment for even minor offenses. Any debtor whose status was lower than that of his creditor was forced into slavery. The punishment was more lenient for those who owed their debt to a member of a lower class. The stringency of these laws gave rise to expressions such as "draconian punishment", "draconian laws", and more generally, the far-reaching "draconian measures". Draco was the first to codify Athenian law; contrary to popular belief, however, he was not the creator of those laws. Draco's code of law was superseded by that of Solon in the early 6th century BC.
Draco (Latin for Dragon) is a far northern constellation that is circumpolar for many northern hemisphere observers. It is one of the 88 modern constellations, and one of the 48 constellations listed by Ptolemy. Visible at latitudes between +90° and −15°. Best visible at 21:00 (9 p.m.) during the month of July .
There are many myths behind Draco, due to its resemblence to a dragon. In the first legend, Draco represents the dragon killed by Cadmus before founding the city of Boeotia. In the second legend, it represents the dragon that guarded the Golden Fleece and was killed by Jason.
In another myth, it represents Ladon, the dragon that guarded the apples of the Hesperides, one of The Twelve Labours of Herakles. Due to its position and nearby constellations in the zodiac sign of Libra (i.e. Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, and Boötes), formed the origin of the myth.

This name symbolizes so much more than a villain. It serves as a reminder to be kind, communicate, be open to varying perceptions, to not assume all knowledge. Hate dwells in ignorance. It’s a name of second chances and redemption.
