I can't decide which i like more, am thinking either could be shortened to Cass?
What do you think? x

Cassius

jolene900 · 06/03/2017 23:25

CASSIUS is lovely!!!!!!

MistressMolecules · 06/03/2017 23:09

Atticus definitely, love that name. Really not keen on Cassius at all.

Joinourclub · 06/03/2017 22:51

I really like Cash. I think Atticus is too try hard.

RedBugMug · 06/03/2017 22:38

prefer cassius.
atticus sounds like a mocked cassius to me.

Thecontentedcat · 06/03/2017 22:35

I love both, I think Cassius goes better with Otis.

Dontrocktheboat · 06/03/2017 22:18

Cassius is ok.

Atticus I find a bit try hard.

RedSauce · 06/03/2017 22:03

I love both. One is DS1's middle name (was very nearly his first name but just missed out).

I think Atticus goes better with Otis (also an awesome name, btw)

Mumzypopz · 06/03/2017 21:58

Sorry, but I really don't like either name. Your son has to have this name all his life, it might be topping the heights of 'unusual names' which a small minority may think are cool at the moment, but give it five, ten years, and they will be topping the embarrassment charts.

Darlink · 06/03/2017 21:58

No way ! You can't be serious

EmmaC78 · 06/03/2017 21:56

I dislike both too.

Beachedwh4le · 06/03/2017 21:55

We have an Atticus and he gets Atti Smile

caffelatte100 · 06/03/2017 21:54

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!!!

KnightsOfCydonia · 06/03/2017 21:52

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

Dfg15 · 06/03/2017 21:49

Why would u do this to a poor innocent baby - both awful names

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 06/03/2017 21:48

Please don't do this to your son!!!

RockyBird · 06/03/2017 21:47

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

TheTartOfAsgard · 06/03/2017 21:42

My ds has a friend called Cassius but he gets called Cash

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/03/2017 21:42

How about Otis and Marcus.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/03/2017 21:41

I like Atticus.

RebelRogue · 06/03/2017 21:41

Neither

gunsandbanjos · 06/03/2017 21:32

Both dreadful in my opinion.

willconcern · 06/03/2017 21:20

sorry, but I think they're both totally horrific.

dancetothebeat · 06/03/2017 21:13

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.

Atticus with the nick name Ati
