Charlotte - Very pretty, but I doubt we would use it.
Juliet - love this.
Scout - This is a girl name? I could see it as a boy's nn or a pet name, but not a girl.
Atticus - No.
Holden - I like it for other people, but this is not something we would ever use.
Sawyer - Not a bad name, but NMS.
Juliet: Sorry...I'm not naming my kid after a bratty teenager who killed herself because her parents didn't like that she ran off with a guy she just met.
Scout: No. Just no. This is a cute dog's name.
Atticus: Maybe as a middle name, but no as a first name. DH would love it, though.
Holden: Not bad...this may require discussion with DH...
Sawyer: Maybe if the father was the guy who played Sawyer on Lost (Josh something? ). Otherwise, it's not happening.

Charlotte & Juliet - Pretty, but I wouldn't personally use them.
Scout - Another vote for pet name or just a nn.
Atticus - I always think of To Kill a Mokingbird or 'abacus' when I hear this.
Holden - All that comes to mind is Holden McGroin...
Sawyer - I think this is kind of cute, actually. Not sure if DH would ever be on board, though.
TTC September 2013 | BFP 11/21/13 | Chart | EDD 8/3/14 | It's a girl!
DD born at 42 weeks 1 day | 8/18/14 5:33am | 8lbs 4oz 20.25in of perfection!
I think Atticus is too long with no good shortened version. I like Holden but I actually know 2 Holdens. I like Sawyer better as a nn for someone with that as their LN.
To make you feel my love.
my read shelf:
Juliet - Pretty but NMS.
Scout - No, it's a pets name.
Atticus - NMS
Holden - NMS
Sawyer - Kind of cute, but I prefer it for a girl. Still wouldn't ever use it though.
