Atlas

[idontknow54789]

Is this a good name? Personally I LOVE it but not sure if it's an acceptable name? My DM scoffed at it when my brother mentioned it a while ago so got me a bit worried in case we do decide on it.

Thought? Does anyone know an Atlas?

Definitely not.

Atlas doesn't do it for me at all.
Bodhi I see on forums all the time. I think there are going to be lots of long haired middle class Bodhi's starting school in four or five years.
Robin is nice, and I really like Indy too - less keen on Indigo.
Finch just reminds me of this band of the same name

Finch reminds me of the guy from American Pie who shags Stifler's Mom. Highbrow stuff.

That does sound better than my pronunciation but philistines like me, of which there are many, would just see anus.

Well at least Aeneas didn't have sex with/murder horribly anyone in his family, as far as I remember.......

No, indeed. His mother was Aphrodite and he was very respectful to his ailing old father (the aforementioned Anchises), helping him escape the sack of Troy, before leading a merry band of warriors to safety in Italy and founding the pre Rome that Romulus and Remus would later found.

All in all - not a bad little namesake.

(The beginning of Anchises has a hard 'ch' like Anchor - he isn't called An cheeses: Ank eye seas)

Atlas is perhaps a little old fashioned these days, how about something more modern like Satnav?

I had a horse called Atlas once. For a pet, fine. For a human, hell no.

Wren is a girl's name.

Finch is the guy who ahagged Stiffler's Mom.

Awful names. All of them. Robin is just about passable,

Atlas just says "book of maps" to me.

I like it but it's not a name.

I love Satnav. Would it be ok for a girl?

Isn't Wren a nickname for Catherine? My cousins nickname is Wren as is a uni friend both called Catherine though.

Robin and Bodhi are the nicest you've mentioned

Dipping No, Wren is a name in its own right. It's a nature name.

I think Atlas is gorgeous and exotic, very strong and unique, with connotations/aspirations of travel.

It sounds Arabic, and I think it's a perfectly acceptable name. Go for it!

I love satnav. Would it be okay for a girl?
😂

A to Z - a nice old fashioned name. Could suit a boy or a girl

Atoz. I like that too. Feel I could find my way home with these names. Compass anyone?

@MikeUniformMike Compass anyone?

North is taken. I suppose it also rules out West as well.

South-South-East is available though...

When I was picking a name for my DD I always tried to imagine if it's a name I would be happy to introduce myself to someone as.

Hello! My name is Atlas...

At least his future wife would be able to sing 🎶 at laaaaaaaaaaassssssttttt I feel my world has come home🎶

Sorry it's early and I need caffeine

Atlas was on our long list - kind of as a joke but we both quite liked it. It was in our baby name book so is actually a name!

I love it, I don't know if I would be brave enough to use it though.

I asked about an unusual name on here a few weeks back and got a resounding no which tbh did the job at putting me off.

If you love it, I wouldn't read the comments!

A no from me, I'm afraid.

If someone introduced themselves to me as Atlas I would struggle to keep a straight face. I wouldn't saddle a child with it.

The only name on your list that I find even vaguely acceptable is Robin, but I still don't actually like it.

It has rather negative meanings: Atlas was a Titan condemned to hold up the sky for eternity.

Like so

I love it. I had it on my list last time, but everyone drops there t's where I live (including myself often) and I realised it sounds shit like that.

Is Bodhi pronounced like Brody but without the R?

Atlas is a great name with a brilliant story behind it. And surely kids use google maps now?? Think we're all thinking about our childhoods.
I also think finch from American pie will be a dated reference for these kids?
Only query over bodhi - it's Sanskrit and don't think that feels right unless your kid has an Indian/Buddhist background
