Atticus? others?

[Phantom]

My OH REALLY loves names that are sort of ancient, from the Greek/Roman era. Recently his new favorite is Atticus. Honestly, I don't mind the name but I don't like that I won't be able to call him anything in short form.

Do you have any suggestions of old-fashioned names I can convince him to like more?

Julian/Julius (Emperor/general)
Constantine (Emperor)
Mark/Marcus
Anthony (Mark Anthony and Cleopatra)
Augustus (Emperor)
Felix (Roman name - think means happy)
Hadrian (Emperor)
Lucian (Roman name)
Justinian (Justin) (Emperor)
Roman ( is used as a first name

Adonis (God)
Alexander (The great)
Phillip (of Macedon - Alexanders father)
Jason (And the golden fleece)
Luke (Think is also from Greek)

Thats what I could think of from history

In all honestly, when I hear Atticus I think of Marc Hoppus and Thom DeLonge's over-priced range of shoes and clothes!
What about Perceus? I love that name.

I LOVE Atticus! It was very high on my list of possible names for Isaac!

Felix (Roman name - think means happy)

Just wanted to say that Felix is Latin and means lucky It's my son's name and people always comment on how nice it is so a definite recommendation from me! Am always happily surprised to see how often people mention it on here.

[Szaffi]

sounds like a forum nickname to me.

I'd rather go for some of the other already mentioned names:

Felix, Anthony, Adrian(us), Julian, Alexander, Maximilian, Constantine

haha it reminds me of To Kill A Mockingbird too, that's one of the reasons I don't like it much.

Thanks for your suggestions. Keep them coming if you can think of more. He also likes Cassius. That one is growing on me.

Honestly, i am not at all in favor of naming a baby Atticus.... BUT.... if you decided to go with it.... "Ace" is a cool nickname!

I LOVE Atticus. You call him Attie for short. It's on my name list and I've adored it for years.
