Atticus sounds charming on paper but I do feel it would be odd to call a child. I remember reading an article of a mom who said she felt ridiculous calling her child’s “unusual” name across the playground and wished she had named him something else. I imagine Atticus would also produce this effect.
Ethan seems to have earned its place as a “classic” (if not rather milquetoast) name in roster.
Oliver wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the associations with orphans.
The rest are cloyingly trendy.
