Thoughts on the name Atlas?

It just makes me think... 🤷‍♀️

(In reality I like it but as a middle name maybe)

Dont like it im afraid

Tiredmum100 · 08/12/2018 16:59

I don't like it.

I would practice a few scenarios first.

In the park, child is climbing up the wrong way on a slide "Atlas, get down from there at once."

At the supermarket. "SHall we have pepper hummus or ordinary Humous Atlas?"

On the beach."have you seen a little boy wearing yellow trunks? HIs name is Atlas"

At the school " hello, I'm Atlas's mummy, would he like to come round to play one afternoon"

If you can see yourself using the name with a straight face and ignoring the expressions on other peoples faces then go ahead.

Ps a skinny malinkey 13 year old might not relish being compared to the mythical Atlas .........

Dreadful

No!

Awful! Suppose it turns out to be a little slim boy? He'd get the piss taken out of him remorselessly!

Sorry I don't like it - boy or girl?
