Atticus as it reminds me of the father in To Kill a Mockingbird :) Cassius makes me think of Romania emperors and doesn't seem like a real name somehow

Cassius goes better with Otis. But it's a name that needs attitude to pull it off I think.

I know 3 boys called Atticus - I think it's very poncetastic.

Cassius is moderately preferable.

OMG. Both these were on our shortlists for both our sons!

I love these names!

If it helps we went with neither of them for either of our sons Grin Both got plainer names! Still wistful about these. Sigh.

I have a close friend with a Cassius. It is a fabulous name. He gets Cass or Cassy for short.

He's a fantastic, chilled, clever and funny teenager if that makes any difference

I like atticus, because it reminds me of to kill a mockingbird.

these seem like joke names, most people won't like these names, apart from a very few people that really do. Like you are seeing on this thread. There are lots of nicer names out there!!!
