Greek Mythology: Means “not enduring” from the Greek negative prefix α combined with τλαω (tlao) “to endure”. In Greek mythology he was a Titan punished by Zeus by being forced to support the heavens on his shoulders. (Behindthename.com)
I love Atlas but hubby won’t consider it :(. I have been busy too and haven’t had much time for visiting others blogs but I will this week before I am back to work next week 🙂
This is our #1 boy name for when we finally get pregnant! We have our boy name nailed down, but I like too many girl names to decide. Juno is actually one of my favorites, but worry that may be too much with Atlas?

Wow, sorry I haven’t been around. I have been so busy, but you have posted so many cool names since I last checked back.
Atlas seems so under appreciated, I think he would appeal to parents who like names like Atticus, Phoenix, Orion or Aspen. Cool name.
