I like it
I think it's classy and has a beautiful sound
it sounds like a fantasy princess's name
Terrible
At first, I couldn't imagine why someone who had no connection or attachment to the U.S or Atlanta, Georgia would name their child that, but I remembered that the name might remind the parents of Atlantis. Or anything aquatic and tropical. I prefer that reason much better than naming a kid after a city simple because it's "hip" or "cool". Hip and cool things die out. But the natural world and mythology are pretty permanent. I do like the sound of the name. I think about a child who grew up near the shore, collecting seashells.
Very surprising. Better than Antarctic or Pacific, I suppose, but I'd never give it a thought IRL.
One of my guilty pleasure names! I really like the sound and its relation to Atlas, though I slightly prefer Atlantis. Happy to hear about a real-life Atlanta!
I like it a lot, reminds me of Atlantis. I also like Atlantia.
I thought this said Atalanta and got so excited. Atlanta is also too tied to the city for me. It also makes me think of Atlantic. It's certainly an unusual name for the UK!
I love Atalanta, but Atlanta is too tied to the city for my liking.
