Does Atticus have nicknames?

[allhailtheaubergine]

Dh likes Atticus. I quite like it too - but would he get called something for short?

Unusual name, cous cous sprang to mind but then I can be rather juvenile

Ticky. Cussy.

Nicknames are always a funny one aren't they?

My Mom & Dad called me and my sister Ruth & Kay - purely so they couldn't be shortened, or nicknames given........but we did get nicknames from our surname anyway!!!

Atticus is really nice - very unusual.

If I were a 4yr old, I'd be coming up with:
Atti, attic, lofty, cous cous (as mentioned above!)......but most names can get nicknames.....atticus is a beautiful name.

Knew an Atticus called Atti by his parents.

Any name gets shortened-if not they get lengthened or called something else entirely!

Disagree - Sarah (my name) has never been given any derivitive or lengthening. It is possible to avoid.

Only if you want to Sarah-if you want it shortened it will be shortened. We gave DS a short name and he gets called his surname-he likes it! DS2 has a long name-I am the only person to use it-he likes it shortened.

I wanted it shortened or given any nickname my whole life - never happened, even after expressing desire.

I know a little Atticus known sometimes as Attie...I like it

Gus?

a bit of a leap I know...

I know two Sarahs who are known as Sare. Rhymes with hair.

Atti is sweet.

The Atticus I know is Attie for short.

What a LOVELY name (even the nnames are lovely). I want a boy now!!!!

So now we have TWO boys names to argue over and still no girls name!

attie is cute

atticus sounds a little bit pretentious though (sorry!)

big name for a little boy!
