In Portal co-op, the blue playable robot is named Atlas.-- deja-entendu 9/24/2011
I love this name. It evokes strength, wisdom, and worldliness and has a deep history behind it and its meaning is quite contradictory to the Greek myth. This is at the top of my boy's list, and I will be using this for a future son one day. I love the mythological story behind the name, and the fact that Atlas is associated with globes and maps shouldn't deter one from using this name.
I should also note that it is growing in popularity. It is about time that this name receives some recognition and appreciation.-- UniqueNameLover 10/6/2011
