I can't decide which i like more, am thinking either could be shortened to Cass?
What do you think? x

NoArmaniNoPunani · 06/03/2017 21:05

I prefer cassius

witwootoodleoo · 06/03/2017 21:06

Atticus as it reminds me of the father in To Kill a Mockingbird :) Cassius makes me think of Romania emperors and doesn't seem like a real name somehow

inlectorecumbit · 06/03/2017 21:07

Both horrendous Shock poor child

witwootoodleoo · 06/03/2017 21:08

Or Roman emperors even

WaitrosePigeon · 06/03/2017 21:08

Love them both. Equally.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 06/03/2017 21:09

Cassius goes better with Otis. But it's a name that needs attitude to pull it off I think.

ArriettyClock1 · 06/03/2017 21:12

I know 3 boys called Atticus - I think it's very poncetastic.

Cassius is moderately preferable.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 06/03/2017 21:13

Atticus with the nick name Ati

dancetothebeat · 06/03/2017 21:13

OMG. Both these were on our shortlists for both our sons!

I love these names!

If it helps we went with neither of them for either of our sons Grin Both got plainer names! Still wistful about these. Sigh.

willconcern · 06/03/2017 21:20

sorry, but I think they're both totally horrific.

gunsandbanjos · 06/03/2017 21:32

Both dreadful in my opinion.

RebelRogue · 06/03/2017 21:41

Neither

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/03/2017 21:41

I like Atticus.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/03/2017 21:42

How about Otis and Marcus.

TheTartOfAsgard · 06/03/2017 21:42

My ds has a friend called Cassius but he gets called Cash

RockyBird · 06/03/2017 21:47

I have a close friend with a Cassius. It is a fabulous name. He gets Cass or Cassy for short.

He's a fantastic, chilled, clever and funny teenager if that makes any difference

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 06/03/2017 21:48

Please don't do this to your son!!!

Dfg15 · 06/03/2017 21:49

Why would u do this to a poor innocent baby - both awful names

KnightsOfCydonia · 06/03/2017 21:52

I like atticus, because it reminds me of to kill a mockingbird.

caffelatte100 · 06/03/2017 21:54

these seem like joke names, most people won't like these names, apart from a very few people that really do. Like you are seeing on this thread. There are lots of nicer names out there!!!

Beachedwh4le · 06/03/2017 21:55

We have an Atticus and he gets Atti Smile

EmmaC78 · 06/03/2017 21:56

I dislike both too.

Darlink · 06/03/2017 21:58

No way ! You can't be serious
