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)

Honestly, I think Atticus Acquaviva is quite a mouthful, and a lot of alliteration. Atticus is also pretty trendy right now, not as bad as the -aiden gang but a little more on the hipster side.

I think Matthias Acquaviva is unique, classy and wonderful.
