Just that really. Ds is named but I can't help feeling I should have been brave and give for the one I loved most.

Atticus, Ezra or Theodore?

I wanted my son’s middle name to be Atticus but couldn’t persuade dh! I love it!

Atticus is lovely

ivenoideawhatimdoing Moses is soooooo much nicer than Grayson!!

OP I really love all three of the names. I'd veto Theodore for being so currently popular, Ezra is my favourite but then that's also on a huge upswing so I'd probably go with Atticus.

Atticus, Ezra & Theodore in that order.

I like Ezra best.

Atticus is nice, but not nice enough imo. Too 'attic-y'.

Theodore is nice too, but Theo is too popular and there is also the 'Fee-o-door' pronunciation issue.

Atticus! Not enough of those around imo

Ezra

DS was going to be Moses or Grayson.

My heart lay with Moses but I thought it would be 'more sensible' to call him Grayson.

I've never been the sensible kind of person.

Called him Moses and braced for the backlash. If I had a pound for the number of times people have asked me are we religious or made an unfunny joke I'd be a wealthy lady.

Calling him anything else sounds bizarre now.

I'm going to guess you used Theodore as it's the most 'mainstream' All are lovely names OP, Atticus is a bit too out there for me but I would quite happily name my child any of them (although I would worry my very working class father would guffaw me out of the room if I brought his grandson Atticus down to the local social club he resides🙈)

It's the TKAM thing here too. Love it.

He's just under a year old. I'm not going to change it... Just having a pondering moment about reactions to the name I've chosen as opposed to names I want brave enough to use...

Wish I'd had an Atticus. Too late now.

dontpokethebear · 27/09/2017 21:24

I have a Theodore (which is a bit of a marmite name on mn). DD would have been Ezra had she been a boy.
I put forward Atticus, TKAMB is a favourite book, but husband vetoed it.

How old is your Ds? Are you thinking of changing it?

Fwiw, I prefer Ezra of the three, but all are nice.
