I think I prefer the sound of Atreyu, but the look of Atreus... Would be good for twins 😅

Atreus I suppose

Sirikit · 26/02/2023 20:32

I would go for Atrium, and maybe Attrition? Attic is nice too.

AuntieStella · 26/02/2023 20:33

I've never come across either before

I'd go for Atreus

Never ending story?

LivingDeadGirlUK · 26/02/2023 20:39

People will assume you were either really into the neverending story or really like your Emo. Or both!

I know an Atreyu. It's shortened to Trey.
I like it. 😊

ZebraKid71 · 26/02/2023 21:14

I only know Atreyu in the context of the band so I'd assume you were a big fan. On that basis I'd go for the other option.

mangosmoothieisthebest · 26/02/2023 21:15

I think Atrocious works!

Trey is a cute nickname. Could work for either though.

Does the Atreyu you know like their name?

I think so. It certainly suits him. He's a very cool young guy. 🙂

paulhollywoodshairgel · 27/02/2023 14:14

I like atreyu but don't ever let him take a horse near any muddy swamps 😂

Scirocco · 27/02/2023 16:48

Atreyu! Neverending Story.

RubaiyatOfAnyone · 27/02/2023 17:36

Genuine question - does Atreyu pre-exist The Neverending Story as a name, or was it made up by the novelist?

Atreus · 27/02/2023 17:44

I like Atreus, but I'm clearly biased!

I don't think so, but Atreus does

I'd assume you were a god of war fan of you went with Atreus, which is no bad thing

Same!

LetUsPonce · 27/02/2023 18:35

I like Atreus but am not keen on Atreyu at all. (I'd also struggle to decide if an "Atreyu" was a girl or a boy as I'm not familiar with The Neverending Story.)

True, it could be a girls name

If you go for Atreyu I'd assume you are a BIG fan of the Neverending story.

Atreyus murdered his brother didn't he? Not sure I'd go for that name...

VeryQuaintIrene · 27/02/2023 18:41

You might want to google The house of Atreus and/or Thyestes. Not a great choice to saddle a beloved child with, IMO.

FfeminyddCymraeg · 27/02/2023 18:41

Atreyu was a super emo band so my mind would go straight to that.
