I love
Atticus, and would certainly use it (if my boyfriend would let me).
However,
Tacitus? I see Taci (or tacky), and -Tus as in
Titus (a name I loathe).
Anyway, I REALLY LOATHE twinsy names. One egg or two - they are completely different people, who deserve their own name. Growing up they are going to share everything, do they have to share a similar name?
All the twins I know and have this discussion with are happy their parents didnt give them overly cutesy twin names. (
Daniel and
Matthew,
Rebecca and
Elizabeth,
Dana and
Devin). The one pair of twins that did have kind of cutesy names are
Anthony "
Tony" and
Andrew "
Andy" who were completely opposite (identical) twins and loathed they had names that were picked because they were close together and had the -y ending nn. They both liked their own name, but hated how it was just chosen by the fact their mom thought it was "cute" for twins
