Help[Opinions] Atticus
Thoughts on the name Atticus? What would you rate it out of 10? Is it masculine? Would it suit a boy and adult?
Also, do you find the KISS sound at the end off putting?
Any Nickname suggestions would be great too

Atticus isn't really my style, but I appreciate thats different, and a pretty cool name. And no the the end sound doesn't really put me off, infact I didn't really pick up on it ending like that until you asked... the way I say it, its not exactly at-ah-KISS... slightly more uh sounding maybe?
I'm not sure on nicknames, maybe kiss ;P... nah could call him Atty...

I love Atticus. I'd rate it a a nine. Nine simply because I don't love it quite so much as my favorite boys' names, Cassius and Evander, but I do love it.
It's quite masculine. I don't see how a name could be more masculine. Definitely suits an adult, but a boy? Not so much. But I'd rather have a name that suits a man and not a boy than the other way around--people are adults longer than they're children.

I loves me some Atticus. Ever since I read To Kill a Mockingbird over the summer break, I've adored the name! It's such a fantastic book and Atticus Finch, in my opinion, is the greatest literary character of all time.
With my accent, Atticus doesn't end in "kiss", nor does it have a 'D' sound in it; ATT-i-cus, not ADD-i-kiss.
Atticus is such a handsome name! I'd give Atticus the nickname "Atty", though I know my mum would call him "Atlas"...

I do kind of like it, and I like the literary connection. It does feel pretty hipster, though. I think I'd give it an 8 out of 10. It is definitely masculine, but gently so. Definitely would suit any age.
I don't find the ending offputting. It's not like it's emphasized when you say the name aloud. I think Addy would be a wonderful nn for it!

I like Atticus. It's not a favorite of mine, but it's a nice, solid name. I feel it's very masculine. I'd probably rate it 7 out of 10. I think it would suit both a boy and an adult. I don't find the -kiss sound at the end off-putting at all.
I'm not sure about a nickname. Attie is too feminine. Ha. Er...I'm at a loss for nicknames...

I pronounce it more AT-ih-cuss so I don't say "kiss."
I would give it a seven in masculinity. Enough to be boyish (and not be stolen by girls). Not so much that it sounds overbearing.
I would love to meet an Atticus of any age. I can see if on all ages, I think.
I really can't think of any nn ideas except maybe Atti.
