I don't think the hun connotation is what's kept people away from this name. After all, Alexander the Great was an international tyrant, but his name is still going strong. I think Attila's lack of popularity has more to do with the fact that it hasn't been featured prominently in any movies or tv shows, or baby name books from current centuries. It's just a naturally rare name that has been used rather sparingly throughout history, and is perfect for those who are looking for a strong but soft boy name.
Sort of like the Polish name Lech, I don't think this one travels very well. Also, at risk of sounding racist, Attila would sound strange to me on someone who wasn't Hungarian or of Hungarian ancestry (that is just my opinion).
