In response to "Summary:It's about naming after celebrities (and their kids) -It's also joined with racism/racists now.>--My takeaway--makes sense it's #1 from all this B.S. this year -- nm*" by Flavorize

I don't think that's quite what they said - it's based on Harper Lee's other book, which way way way way fewer people have or will read.

in addition to casey affleck, I think there've been at least a couple other celebs with atticus-named babies in recentish years. that probably has more impact than that other book.
