Re: Celebrity-Inspired Names in the Top 1000
Good points about Joaquin Phoenix and the Atticus clothing line. I definitely think that Atticus Finch is one of the reasons (probably the main reason) that people use the name Atticus, but you can't associate the publication of the book with the spike in the name. Same thing for Elle Macpherson and "Layla" the song--those first appearances may be strongly associated with the names, but the names spiked on other occasions.
