Thoughts on this boys name...

[ALS17081982]

Atticus

What do you think to this name?

Love it

Reminds me of To Kill A Mockingbird. Nice name for that character. Wouldn’t suit any child of mine.

I like it

Terrible. I loved TKAM but would not use it.

I like it as I love TKAMB but cannot imagine calling (as in actually calling it out!) my child it.

I think it's the sort of name someone chooses when they think they're being unique, without realising that everyone else who is trying to be unique is choosing the same name.

Plus, they all dole out the same, "To Kill a Mockingbird is my favourite book!" spiel.

Don't do it. You will wish you hadn't.

Give your lovely boy a nice, ordinary name ☺

I'd think you were trying too hard to be different. Sorry.

I do love the mockingbird book. And I do like unusual names. But keep thinking. ....

I rather like it.

Very popular in certain corners of the country. Don’t assume little Atticus would be unique.

It is very popular now.

How many 20/30/40/50/60/70/80 year old Atticuses do you know?

There is a balance between unusual and ordinary. Also; I think that the meaning of names is important. Is he from Athens?

Very cute

Too try-hard

It's very 'ooh aren't we ever so well read'.

Love it so much I suggested it to friends who wanted a name beginning with ‘A’, they went with it and he really suits it.

I love it but it's one of those names I think people would eye-roll at.

I think it’s awful sorry

Atticus is great - cool, strong and not overused!

I hardly think tkamb is ‘very well read’. It is on the school curriculum.

Sadly not any more, Duckula!

It's a nice name, it's an old name that's suddenly becoming popular again. For me it's too trendy, I think there'll be lots of kids called Atticus in the next few years, then it'll suddenly lose its popularity and become dated.

I agree @C0untDucku1a there's barely a person left who hasn't read it.

But that's what I feel people are trying to project by using a name that's only known through this one avenue.

I don't think it'll become too popular. It's a great strong sounding name. I really like it.
