If I've got a Thaddeus...

...can I also have an Atticus?

Is it too similar? I don't mind them being a bit similar sounding but some days I think it's absolutely fine and others I think it would be too much.

DC2 due soon!

Love both names and think they're fine together.

Thaddeus and Atticus are lovely names (esp Thaddeus) but too samey for brothers. Having the two together distracts from each name's uniqueness.

Esther is lovely.

Thaddeus and Leopold

Thaddeus and Gideon

Thaddeus and Marcus

I really like Atticus and don't think it's too similar to Thaddeus. Also, they won't be together all their lives, so don't worry too much about names 'matching'.

Reprising this thread for #3. Is Atticus too similar to Thaddeus? Still undecided after all these years!

Mmmm I personally think they’re too similar but I do like the name

Chanandlerbong89 · 27/08/2019 13:32

By the way, what did you call your second in the end? Congratulations on a third! Flowers

diddlediddle · 27/08/2019 20:34

Yes it depends what the second was called?

I really like Atticus as a name and I think especially if they're apart in age it would be fine.

katesalwayslate · 28/08/2019 08:42

Personally I think no

katesalwayslate · 28/08/2019 08:43

No they shouldn’t be used together, I mean

Really does depend on what the second one was called I think.

OP reviving your original thread? I love your efficiency! I think the names are slightly too similar but knowing the name of DC2 would help.

@Antonin no the OP came back & asked again
