DH and I are early in the naming process. We really like the idea of an older name (something clearly not made-up) with relatively easy spelling. We also want to stay out of the top ~50-100ish names. (Both DH and I have names in the top 25 for our birth years and have always shared our names with classmates/coworkers) For a boy, it is essential to DH that there be an easy nickname that we like as well. Which brings me to...
Titus (NN: Ty)
If you were to stereotype, what type of person fits with the name Titus?
Thanks!!

I like it. Have you considered other New Testament names? They fit your criteria of being older names with easy spellings (at least some of them do).
Silas
Jude
Felix
Simon
Thaddeus
Thanks for the suggestions! Silas or Simon might work for us. We really like Jude... but our good friends who are due a month before us just announced their little boy as Jude. Ah well, at least I will get to love on an adorable Jude, even if we have to keep looking for our LO's name.
LOL. It took me a second to realize the connection, but middle school boys probably would be pretty quick with coming up with that one too. Ah well. Thanks for the input!
I first think of the book from the Bible. I love biblical names (especially those that don't end in -ah), but I don't know if I could use this one as a first name. It would definitely work as a middle name, though.
It seems like an awfully strong name to give to a baby (or a little old man, for that matter).
I feel like this name is too much and would be much better for a MN. I agree with most pps.
Names similar in style:
Theophilus, Ramone, Bram/Abram, Maximus, Phillip, Ezra, Dominic, Roman, Dexter, Tanner, Oscar, Maddox, Todd, Joel... (FYI, a name search engine suggested Magnum for you, if you were still questioning if it is a brute sort of name...)
GL choosing!
Ha! B.S. in Theatre here! Great play. Bloody and violent but great.
