Opinion on the name Atlas?

When I stumbled across this name I thought it was so sweet, and my partner agreed (which instantly made it a winner given our polar opposite tastes) but after looking into it I realised it may be much more uncommon than I thought and I don't want my son being the one with the 'weird new wave' name? What do you guys think? Let me know your opinion in comments pls!

I think it's getting more and more popular. I know at least 3 kids called Atlas when before I knew none. It might be a name that people find different but we don't think it'd weird at all!

We have a Dimitri and a Braxton both of which aren’t the most common. I’d say if you love it go with it! Being unique and different isn’t a bad thing these days 🥰

Shay Mitchel’s daughters name is atlas

we were stuck between Atlas and Axel for our boy. Axel went better with his second name so we chose Axel in the end 🥰

I know an Atlas, aged 2

I think it “starts with us” and “it ends with us” books are making it popular! After watching the movie it ends with us I was all for naming our baby boy atlas (after the good guy) but partner was not a fan 😒

There is also the book/person Atlas by Lucinda Riley, beautiful series!

If you both love it go for it, it’s meant to be popular for 2025 so I don’t think it will be weird as he grows up! X

I know 3 baby Atlas’s born in the last year or so

My mom's friend was named Atlas growing up 🤷‍♀️ I never thought it was weird... probably because when I was young I didn't understand what an Atlas was? Probably nothing to worry about

As a fan of Greek mythology, it’s a yes from me! 🩵

i love it, i think it’s actually rising in popularity

@Sarah I thought of Greek mythology too. I love names from Greek mythology so I say go for it!

Atlas is a name that’s been Around forever! I love it!!!

Girl, talk about ‘weird new wave’ names- I straight up, no shame-d it and named our first “Schmidt”(Schmidty!:)).:) I loveee loveee LOVE Atlas! It’s beautiful and reminds me of the name “Artemis”. Fantastic name!💕🩷

OML that's what we're naming our son! It's unique but not weird if that makes sense! If you love it, go for it!

Atlas was our top name for our second baby if we had another boy but we have a girl. I love it! We also had these options for a boy: Atticus Odin Adonis (my hubby didn’t like it but I loved it)

@Chloé Collier I absolutely love Atticus!!!

If you both love it, go for it!! I’d say it’s better than a name that’s already really common.

It’s pretty popular where I live I know about 3 baby’s names atlas all under 2. And last year in the US it nearly made it into the top 100 names ranking at 112 for boys.

It’s a very popular pet name right now. I think it’s cool

I love Atlas, especially with a classic middle name like James, John, William etc
