Re: NOTD Wednesday - "Cool names from ancient culture"

  • Meh. They are all a little too out there for me. Atticus and Vivian(a) are probably my top picks if I had to choose.

    Atticus - NMS (but knowing my luck, DH would love it.)

  • I really like Lucia; I ran it by DH, but he wasn't a fan. Aurelia is pretty, too, but wouldn't make the cut.

    The others are all NMS. Naming a boy Justus is cause for eye-rolling IMO.

    I like Atticus alright, but won't ever use it. The rest are ok for someone else's kid, but not mine. I had a friend in college that passed away who went by Seneca in some circles so that brings back fond memories of him, but still, definitely nms.
