Which one?

[nowyersuckindiesel]

Atticus or Julius?
There will be no middle name as the surname is double barrelled (2 syllables first, 1 syllable after).

Actually, I prefer Julian to Julius.

Don't like either of them, but Julius is the least bad option.

Atticus is lovely.

Atticus.

Atticus - I like the nn Kit for this

I prefer Julius.

How do you get Kit from Atticus? Wouldn't it be Tic?

Sorry @Epipgab didn't realise nicknames had to be exact cutouts from the longer name?

So... same way you get Bob from Robert, Teddy from Theodore and so on.

I know a little Atticus who gets Kit and I love it.

Not keen on Julius sorry OP there are too many Julians around my area who are 50 year old men x

Atticus is very trendy at the moment. Julius is more of a classic name.

Of course nicknames don't have to be exact snip-outs from the full name, but I think Atticus known as Kit sounds particularly odd because the nickname/shortening is an exact reversal of the middle syllable, and makes you start thinking that the obvious shortening for Atticus is 'Tic'.

@BogQueens if you say so I suppose because I know one, and know he gets Kit, it doesn't seem odd to me!
