I'm rather liking it. Siblings are Benedict, Rex and Artemis

I'm with squoosh. In RL I would never comment negatively on a name choice, but the assumption is that on here people post names to find out what people really think. I got criticised earlier in the thread for admitting suppressing an inner giggle at the name in RL. But there was no way that I would have shown that.
Winky I don't agree that posters have been talking cobblers, although I suspect you are including me in that. Wink I do think the tone from some posters has been overly confrontational though.

I like Atticus - think it's a great underused classic!

Isn't it great that we all have different tastes? Sure, let some people suppress an inner giggle when they meet an Atticus. Equally, let others suppress an inner yawn when they meet another Alfie or Ollie. After the intial giggle or yawn or whatever, the name BECOMES the person and nobody thinks twice about his name.

I personally would rather be 'giggled at' but have a slighly unusual for which people remember me Smile.

[nitpicking] I wouldn't describe Atticus as a classic. It's classical, but not classic [/nitpicking]
