There’s no doubt your love for baby will run deeper than the sea, so why not give them a name that shows it? Atlantis used to be considered a boy’s name, but, today, is a gender-neutral title of Greek origin. The story of Atlantis came to notoriety through Plato, and tells a tale of an advanced utopian civilization. The story goes on to detail the crumbling of the city on account of its citizens' fall into greed and immorality. However dark, the myth teaches an important lesson, and can remind baby Atlantis of the value of staying humble in the face of great wealth.
