HelpAtticus
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I seriously don't get the appeal of this name on name boards. It's practically cliche for celebrity kids and hipster kids. I don't like the fact that the first five letters spell "attic", and it kind of reminds me of "abacus". And while I did like To Kill a Mockingbird, it's not one of my top books (but then again, I do acknowledged that I'm biased).

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is sick of hearing the name Atticus.

To Kill a Mockingbird introduced me to this name when I was young in my 'name-nerd' career; although intensively studying the book for school turned me off it for a little while, I soon realised the importance of it and came to love it - and the names it had spurned.
Since then however, Atticus has become so much more to me than "that name from that book", it held position on my top ten list for a long time and is still on my long list. I think "Attie" is a cute nickname when an Atticus is young, but it can grow well and embodies a sophisticated, chiselled image.
I have seen the birth announcements increase for Attics in recent years, but celebrity wise there are no high-profile births for Atticus that I can think of off the top of my head and I've only ever heard of one Atticus in real life (he's aged somewhere between 6-10 years old).
So, for me, in England, Atticus still holds some obscurity.

It just has character.
