Middle name?

[shockfactor.livejournal.com]

So, my husband and I are pretty set on the first name Atticus. We're due in three weeks :)

First of all, what do you guys think of that name? I'm not up on any trends - is it too trendy? Too dorky?  Our second choice is Matthias...

Our last name is Acquaviva.

I'd love to be able to have a middle name to honor my family - my father is my best friend and has taken care of me from day one.  The trouble is that I don't think any of the names that would represent him or that side of the family sound good with ANY of our name picks...we could use the last name as a middle name (Kern), or we could use Jeffrey or Richard.

Any suggestions?  And if nothing fits with Atticus - any first names that would go well with one of those middle names plus Acquaviva as a last name?

(FYI Acquaviva is pronounced like aquafina)

I LOVE Atticus regardless of any trends. It is, and will always be, one of my all time favorite names.
I think with Kern as a middle, there will be too many K sounds in the name. Out of the ones listed, I think Richard flows best. It's kind of boring, tbh, matched with a name like Atticus, but I think it's a good way to honor your dad.
