Just that really. We really had our heart set on it, but not sure any more.

WWYD?

The book reviews have been out for a few days now, so we've had a little while to think about it.

I was actually really upset when I first realised the change in the nature of the character of AF. I'm a lawyer, from a family of lawyers and he was such a hero to me Sad.

I guess I'm just looking for a bit of perspective really, I'm due any day now and aware that I'm being completely irrational about many things - is this as big a deal as I am making it?

Wondered when this would pop up, given the book reviews out this morning.

Depends whether you think the name Atticus will be seen outside its literary connotations. It's not a name I personally would consider for a child, but then according to MN I am dull and unimaginative, having stuck with top ten names for my boys.
