Atticus is one of my favorite names. It is pronounced the first way, AT-a-kuss. One of the main reasons that I like it is because it's the name of one of the main characters in Harper Lee's novel "To Kill A Mockingbird". I have this small tendency of falling in love with names of literary characters. Anyways... it's an amazing book, and you should definitely read it.
So do I! Characters from anything, I always fall in love with them! lol. I may read To Kill A Mockingbird. I don't really like to read though

And hey, you might get a chance to read it yet - it's required reading in most American high schools. That's where I first read it.

But my bffs all read it and recommended it, but since I'm homeschooled now it's not required :/ I'll go to the library and read it though, I love classics! <3

Haha, you've been super helpful lately Mal! A zillion thank you'd from me!
Aw! I'm glad I can help!
And yes, it's a great read - I definitely recommend it! (The movie version with Gregory Peck is pretty great too - if you like old movies. )
