hi my name is tia . I also wanted a different name for my son , so when I named him I realized the name I had picked wasnt so different after all. I named him logan and there happened to be 2 other boys named logan that were born there that day!.....I love the name parker its a very strong name and I think it works great for either a boy or girl. And not to be mean or anything but when I read the name atticus I thought of a greek god. But ya know kids names are so different now ....Go with your instincts....Maybe even wait to see what the baby looks like before you give he or she a name . See if the face fits the name. Well I hope I was some help .....Good luck with everything!

I really like parker!!!! My friend is having a girl and she is naming her harmony mariah c. I'm irish so I have always loved shannon mckenzie and alex. (boy or girl) boys I like damion and taylor (boy or girl) hope that helped. Congrats!

:)

I like neither. Hunter and archer are much less common and sound cooler/better to me.

I vote for parker if only given those choices. Atticus is okay. I like the uniqueness of it. Atticus for the boy! What do you think of sydney for a girl?

Atticus was in the top 1,000 baby names in 2004.
so not too uncommon. I like it.

First of all congratulations on your pregnancy, or at least it sounds that way. They sound like all great names for boys, myself, I like names that you can shorten or change a little, especially when you get upset with them, of course, I realize you can use their middle names especialy for girls but boys too. My preferance for a girls name is softer, slightly old fashioed names, yet changing them slightly maybe, such as rebecca(becca), candace(candy), kimberly(kim), of course, caty, tammy, and sarah but of course I am sure they are too old fashioned for you, but it is just the way I feel and I am a lot older and it is your choice, I just hope the pregnancy goes well! How far along are you?
Good luck to you and yours. Keep us posted on what you decide and how everything goes through good and bad days as this is a good place to come to vent or whatever.

I love atticus, great name, and great literary significance! The other 2 names you mentioned just sound like surnames, if they have family significance, go for it! If not, i'd say don't use them! There was a little boy at my son's school named atticus!

What about achilles john

I love names that are different. Atticus might be a hard name to nick name...He might be called at....Or cus. I named a daughter afton and nick name her affie or af. My other daughter is named brookelyn...Nicked brooke. For a girl i'd always thought ladia would be pretty....Pronounced la deea. Had a cousin with that name. I know you are having fun trying to figure this out. Oh, I know a parker, hunter and i've just recently heard of sailor. I also think bailey is pretty for a girl.
