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.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 06/03/2017 21:13

Atticus with the nick name Ati
