Too long and fussy. It's a no from me.

Wasn't it a posh mans name on Downton Abbey this last series? Not particularly keen tbh.

Blahia · 27/02/2015 05:33

Cool :)

It screams 'I read a few headlines about books last week and am jumping on the bandwagon'.

I liked it but went with Jem (his son) instead.

Guin1 · 27/02/2015 02:10

Definitely cool. I would never have been able to persuade DH though.

LovelyMarchHare · 26/02/2015 23:16

There will only ever be one Atticus in my eyes.

MildDrPepperAddiction · 26/02/2015 23:14

I love it

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 26/02/2015 23:09

Fabulous. What is the orgin and meaning.

Qwebec · 26/02/2015 22:35

Amazing

bexibean · 26/02/2015 22:17

Overused and a bit of a cliche! Have you read the latest Bridget Jones novel?

(But also a fabulous name, I would totally consider it if I didn't live in nappy valley south west London, so think you should if you don't!)

poppydaisy · 26/02/2015 22:14

Very Cool!

loislines · 26/02/2015 21:23

Fabulous name.

TwistedThinking · 26/02/2015 21:21

I know one but his family are very very posh!

Bettyhen · 26/02/2015 21:20

It's a great name, love itGrin

Glad it's cool rather than weird! I was thinking Atti for a nickname too.

RoganJosh · 26/02/2015 20:29

I love it. Just nicely different I'd say.
What would it get shortened to though?
