He have a two year old boy called Atticus and a daughter on the way, due in April.
we have a small list that we have agreed on but would love to hear your thoughts and any other suggestions 🙂

So far we have:
Amara
Imogen
Lyra
Ivy
Hazel
Luna
Autumn

Middle name will likely be Rose (I know it is popular but it is after my late grandmother).

Lyra Rose sounds lovely and equally literary to Atticus!

RedRock41 · 01/01/2025 22:29

How about Scout? Atticus always reminds me of To Kill A Mockingbird. Great book.

Amara- personally I think doesn’t really go with Atticus but is beautiful
Imogen- nice but I think you can do better
Lyra- Atticus and Lyra go together perfectly in my opinion
Ivy- Love
Hazel- Love
Luna- I like, don’t love
Autumn- Never really liked this name personally but that’s just me☺️

Atticus and…

Amara and Imogen are both beautiful, I would go with Imogen, Lyra, Luna and Ivy I dislike, Hazel and Autumn are OK

Finch (sorry, sorry, couldn't resist!)

Since Atticus is something of a literary name, how about Lyra to go along with it?

I was about to say the same.

sel2223 · 31/12/2024 04:51

Lyra is lovely but doesn't work with Rose

Atticus is a really strong name with literary and classical associations. By contrast, your girl name ideas are all a little mainstream and wisely washy. I think Lyra is the best of them.

Suggestions:

Aphra
Eden
Guinevere
Vita
Zelda
Juno
Hera
Iris
Cleo
Eirene
Lilith
Willa
Sybil
Althea
Hermione
Christabel
Zora
Louisa
Daphne
Estella
Miranda
Ariadne
Minerva
Persephone
Penelope
Ianthe
Maeve
Agatha

I love these. Lyra Rose is a bit tongue twister. I always see it as Lycra for some reason 🫢

Jk987 · 31/12/2024 01:23

Call her April, it's pretty.

The atticus I know has a sister called Greta.

I like Imogen or Lyra from your list.

OccasionalHope · 31/12/2024 00:44

Imogen

theduchessofspork · 31/12/2024 00:40

I love Atticus -

Of your girl’s name’s I’d go for Imogen

Ivy is v overused, all the Luna/Lyra/Lola/Lena/Leila names are similarly overused en masse and blur into each other - I think she’d feel a bit short changed next to Atticus.

Amara is a bit nothingy and Autumn a bit hello mag. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with Hazel but it always seems spiky to me.

I love PP’s Olympia suggestion and I like Genevieve a lot too (Marlowe, on the other hand, is awful).

also maybe
