[Opinions] Adrian or Atticus

Atticus
Because I hate Adrian (I dislike the look and sound, and have bad connotations with it) and I love "To Kill a Mockingbird".

I love Adrian, though I prefer the Adrien (French) variant. It's subtle, but I prefer the pronunciation.
Atticus I like a lot, but it isn't a name I'd consider a child. I hear "attic". It's similar to Atlas... and Abacus in that way. Though I doubt kids nowadays would know what an abacus is (actually I'm not sure the kids of my own generation would have known what an abacus is - I knew only because my grandma had one her kids used to use for school and my brother and I played with it as a toy as small children)
I like both, but prefer Adrian

Atticus. I’ve never liked Adrian.

Atticus, like Scout, is too tied to To Kill A Mockingbird. The message seems to be "Look how well read I am", which is silly.
Adrian gets my vote all the time, all the way. I would gladly use it for a son; I am not fond of the female versions. Hadrian ties it to the Roman emperor who built the famous Wall, but Adrian retains its classical form without having pronunciation issues (the H was silent in Latin).

I thought I hated Atticus, but, I guess it is now my recommendation! I went to bed hating it, but woke up loving it!
