I actually think that naming your children things like Atticus Finch and Holden Caulfield is a little silly. Edward, Thomas, Atticus and Holden are fine but this is too much. It's so bad I kind of like it.

I guess it bothers me because these are all characters from books that people read in High School. Classics, but so obvious and psuedo-intellectual they make me cringe.
