Sad about a name?

Question

I'm having my son in June and I'm beyond excited! But I've noticed quite a few ladies on here have named there sons Atticus, and I plan on naming my son that (ever since I was in high school) I'm not upset that they named their son that because I think it's a wonderful name! I'm more so sad because it's being used more. I knew that he wouldn't be the only one out there with that name, but I didn't think I'd see this many women naming there sons Atticus and it's a little disappointing I guess. I wanted it to be more uncommon. I know it's silly to be sad over but I just thought I wasn't that common! And before anyone comments on this, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. But I just wanna know is there anyone else out there upset about how common the name picked out has become?

Answer

I wouldn't worry so much about it. You may see the name used online, but I think it's still a pretty uncommon name. The chances of there being another Atticus in his class or anything like that is low.

Answer

When i had my son 8 years ago i had NEVER heard of anyone being named Braxton! Now, i wouldnt say its popular, but i do see other Braxtons and it makes me a little sad. I get how you are feeling!

Answer

I've never met or heard of anyone with that name so it's probably not that common or likely you'll meet many. If you like the name and that's what you want to name your son then I wouldn't worry about it.

Answer

I know what you mean. I wanted to name my son Aidan, but then every time I turned around there was someone else with their child named Aidan and I got upset. I thought it wasn't that common. Needless to say my husband picked a different name and we went with that one. But it was still upsetting.

Answer

I am, I picked Aiden over a decade ago when I've never heard of an Aiden. Now everyone has some version of it.

Answer

Yes, I love Owen. And it's one of the top ten names this year, uugghhh 😂 but Atticus is still uncommon so I wouldn't worry one bit! I honestly haven't met anyone with a son named Atticus. And it can also be a good thing that, although rare, there are other Atticus boys out there. Great choice :)

Answer

I understand completely. I want to name my son Maverick. I just saw a post with the nursery and his name was the same. It makes me sad but I know my son will probably still be the only one with that name where I live.

Answer

I know 3 boys named Atticus. One is 12 years old. It's common where I live but probably uncommon in other places. You should pick a name because it's special to you, not because of how uncommon it is. We chose the name Evelyn for our baby girl. She's named after my grandmother, but Evelyn is one of the top 5 most common names.

Answer

I think its uncommon . I never heard half the names being used on this app . Including the women that post lol . I am the same exact way . I love this one girl name and i wont announce it because i feel there might be people to copy me or i might realize there are alot of people with the same name . I say stick to the name atticus . I think its super unique
