Bonkers name?

[Stangirl]

I like very unusual names and am considering calling my soon to be born son Atticus - after the noble lawyer character in To Kill A Mockingbird. Any views? The other front runners have been Phoenix (like the hippyness) and Lydon (after lead singer of Sex Pistols).

I've met some in London.

How about Diggory?

cumbria, where do you live? I've never lived anywhere where an Atticus would have to cringe when introducing himself?

Digby is the biggest dog in the world - don't do it! Diggory, Gregory or Dicken could be a compromise?

Phoenix - are a MelB wannabe? No? Then don't do it!!

Tiberious is an emperor and coupled with Atticus sounds terrible.

Atticus is Ok - but people will assume you are goth clothing fans (depending on age)

Atticus is a great name

I like Atticus, as well as Tiberius (what's wrong with sharing a name with an emperor?!). I'm not that keen on Phonix, I'm afraid.

(I don't get the goth clothing association ).

Atticus is a great name :)

Love it. Our little friend is called this and we considered for DS2

Not sure why these would be 'bonkers' .

I quite like Atticus but it is becoming popular. Lydon is nice (pronounced Lie-don) and less popular.

Quite like Atticus. Lydon would be mistaken for Lyndon a lot I think. Phoenix is Mel B (Scary Spice)'s daughter which would put me off it, particularly for a boy

Nothing wrong with sharing a name with an emperor, but when it comes to sharing a name with a grumpy, stingy, paranoid and paedophile emperor...

Another vote here for Atticus - I love the name.

Also like Digby

Have you decided which one to go for yet?
