ATLAS  

Gender: M
Origin: Greek god name

Previously thought too powerful for a baby boy--who would have to be strong enough to carry the world on his shoulders--Atlas has joined the pantheon of Greek and Roman god and goddess names now in the realm of possibility, along with Mars, Zeus and Hermes. Anne Heche was one of the first to make this audacious choice.

Atlas is being discussed in our message boards:
