Yeah, the name stuck out to me as well. I think that in the past there is more of a sense of the collective. We are Americans, we are united, we are a people. Now, everybody wants to be unique and individual and in that they're choosing the same "unique" names. Pretty funny when you think about it.

What's your top pick for your next kids name?

Boy: Atticus Ahim Girl: Louisa Lu (Lulu)

We like alliteration.

You?

Wolfram Alpha has great results for given names.

It seems Atticus is blowing up, and people completely stopped naming their kids Louisa in 1970.

We have also considered the name August Audio, but the "Audio" part is a hard-sell to my wife, though I love it. It may be August Ahim of its a boy.

My pal has an 'Atticus Rex' for a son. Straight from Tyrannosaurus.

I like both your preferences though! Especially Atticus!

I'm waaayyyy too far removed from the possibility of a child to have given it any thought.
