So my brother got his summer reading list for 9th grade and after crying over the fact that he's going into high school, I realized To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the suggested reading books. Now, I had to read the book in middle school and LOVED it. So I got all reminiscent and pulled out my old copy and was struck by the name Atticus.


It's not a name I would usually go for, but I'm really liking the idea of it. Top combo is Atticus William, William being a family name. However, I'm not so sure about its usability.


Would Atticus work in real life, or should it say in the books?

Would it work paired with Juliet in a sibling set?


Atticus & Juliet?

I think it could work, but keep in mind that To Kill A Mockingbird (while an awesome book) is exceptionally trendy right now. Atticus wasn't even on the charts 10 years ago and now it's in the 400s and rising fast.

Other than that, I think it is nice and works well with Juliet.

I'm not huge on Atticus, but its a nice name :) Just NMS. I guess cause I picture a guy in a sweater vest with that name which is by no means bad, just not my style :P I've never read To Kill a Mockingbird though, so thats probably another reason I have no fond connections to it ;)

Also, I think Atticus and Juliet go perfect together! Both long, flowy names <3 I adore Juliet :D

Atticus and Juliet is very literary, but I love it :-) I think Atticus William is very handsome.

I love Atticus, it was on my list for a while too (replaced by Arrow...which I might change...I'm not sure). :wub:

Atticus and Juliet are lovely together, and when I was a freshman in high school I knew a senior named Atticus (who was SUPER hot by the way...)
So...yeah ;)
