Try too hard = pretentious. Parents trying too hard to create an image/aura of being more cool, intellectual, highly educated, well read, deep thinking than they really are.

'It's trying SO HARD to be cool it's a bit like when politicians try to show they're down with the kidz and talk about what music they like and invariably say something like 'Coldplay''

Agree. Whenever people reference Mockingbird I'm always suspicious that they haven't read a book since school. Posh Spice said she named her daughter Harper as TKAM is her favourite book, even though she's famously quoted as saying she's never read a book in her life.

A pal has named her four children after characters from to kill a mocking bird, atticus is a great name, he's atti for short.

Dreadful.

I would presume the parents were middle class wanky artisanal bread buying types Smile

Exactly squoosh.

TKAM is the go-to choice as "favourite book" for people who haven't read anything except Sophie Kinsella since school Smile
