[Opinions] Cebrian (a few questions)

What do you think of Cebrian?
How would you pronounce it (without looking at how it should be pronounced)?
Do you think Cebrian and Arsenio would work as brothers? What would you name a third brother?
Do you think Cebrian and Ocean would work as brothers? What would you name a third brother?
Do you think these names could work as a sibset or are they too strange?:
Boaz, Thor, Cebrian and DanteLast question: What nickname would you give Cebrian?

I would guess SE-bree-en, but that's wrong, so I'm not sure what that means (lol). My second guess was KE-bree-en, which is also wrong, oh well ;)
I think it goes quite well with Arsenio, but almost not at all with Ocean. I also think it goes quite nicely with Boaz, Thor, and Dante, they have a nice feeling as a collection. But I'm afriad I have no idea what I would name another boy.
NN's could be Brian, Seb, Bri (prn. Breye, like eye), Cebri (prn. Sebree), and even Ian.

My first thought was CEE-bree-an, but SEH-bree-an was a close second thought.
I think Cebrian and Ocean go better than Cebrian and Arsenio. And the only one that sticks out to me in the sibset is Boaz. I think Thor and Cebrian go well. Maybe Cebrian, Ocean, and Thor?
The only nn I could think of would be the obvious Ceb.

I would say SEH-bree-uhn, but I would be wrong. LOL. It makes me think of the brain (I guess because of the -brian but also its similarity to the word "cerebral"). I don't think it necessarily "goes" with Arsenio or Ocean at all. Arsenio (being in the U.S.) only makes me think of Arsenio Hall. I guess it sounds fine with Boaz and Thor, but especially nice with Dante.

one question:I'm not familiar with Arsenio Hall; Who (or what for all I know) is that?And I'm mispronouncing Cebrian as well :)

Arsenio Hall is a standup comedian who used to have his own talk show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenio_HallAnyone here who had a child by that name would get a lot of, "Oh, after Arsenio?" type questions. Which is kind of annoying, but it's a really handsome names.I'm afraid Cebrian reminds me of Celebrian, which is known as one of the worst pieces of fanfiction that exists on the internet. D: It's really gross, to say the least. So I'm afraid I can't give it the thumbs up.For the record, my immediate assumption would be to say KEH-bree-in if I saw Cebrian. I'm not sure why, but it makes me want to use a hard C.Array

I would pronounce it SEH-bree-anI like Cebrian and Ocean. Maybe Ambrose for the third brother? Or caspian? Maybe Bjorn?Thor is a little out there in that sib set.Brian would be a good nick name?
