[Opinions] Atticus
Replies
I know two. One is called Atty and one is just called Atticus. It sounds classic (as in ancient Rome and also as in classic books because of TKAM). I can't imagine a little kid pulling it off but it's the kind of name you'd grow into.
Personally I think Kit is too much of a stretch (it's taking the "tic" part of Atticus and then switching the consonant sounds?) but I would find it interesting if I met one.

I never understood the appeal behind this name. It’s sold old sounding, attic is literally in the name. I do think of To Kill a Mockingbird, but I feel like the namesake is a bit too obvious. English nerds give this name to their kids, they probably grow up to be nerds, and it had a nerdy namesake. Very stuck up as well, I just feel like it’s trying sound really cool and elaborate then flopping in how ugly every syllable is. Sorry if this was harsh.

It’s very To Kill a Mockingbird.
All I can think of is Atticus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird. It’s a nice name but to me it belongs to that character.
I like it more in theory than in practice, I think it would be a bit much for a real person,and it reminds me of Atticus Finch. having said that, it sounds distinguished but not stuffy and I really like Latin names. not sure how'd you get Kit from that, though.
It reminds me of the time in my life when I thought abacus was such a great sounding word that it could be a good name. I now think that is silly, which colors my opinion of similar sounding Atticus. Also the attic part does bring to mind a big empty space, so I associate vacuousness, which doesn't appeal.
But I can see it's why people might like it and objectively know it's not a silly word name. It's kind of between Attila, Atlas, and Marcus.
Kit would be a cute nickname for it.
