I have loved the name Mercedes for a long time and really wanted to use that for a girl, at least as a middle name. But I know the car association is too strong, especially as we are clearly of anglo/german extraction.
Here's my question: what's the take on Atticus as a boy's middle name? Clearly a reference to To Kill a Mockingbird...is it too pretentious? First name is pretty "generic" and tame.
Atticus is too pretentious and yes I know a toddler with that name, and I feel sorry for him.

My parents were about to name my brother Ignatius. Thankfully, common sense prevailed.

I think I know her. But isn't she from the valley? She likes to pal around with Brandon right?
Lol, I don't think it's the same person. I guess there are at least two pretentious AHN-dreas...
I was joking. It was a reference from the original 90210. I remember thinking that was fairly pretentious and I was pretty young at the time.
Oh, I see. I never watched but it makes sense now. The person I know with that name is now in her 50s, so older than the TV show. Carry on!
