Too wierd for a NN?

Planning on Atticus if this one is a boy.  I am the type that needs a nickname though.  I am thinking about going with a MN that starts with a J and going with A.J. as a nn.  But then my other option is going with a middle name that starts with a Z and going with Az as the nn.  Wondering if this would be too wierd.

    Would it be A Z? or Azzz? I guess I don't mind either one but some nicknames just happen even if you want them to be something else.

    Babynamewizard lists these as nicknames for Atticus:

     Ace Atty(child)

    Goose (At-a-goose)
    Gus
    Atti

    I love the Az nickname. I had a friend who went my Azreal and everyone called him Az. Very cute.

    You could do Atticus Zane :)

    Beware of the simiilarity of Az to A$$.

    And when showing possession, people may tend to say "That's Az's spoon."

    Don't like Az as a nn. I do like A.J. if that works, though.

    AJ = Yes

    Az= Please don't.  He will be called A$$ for his entire life....

    i like a.j. 

    but i have to agree with some of the other replies, az could sound like or be too similar to a$$

    I like A.J. better, Azz is NMS but it could sound cute.

    IMO, if you're giong to give your kid a great and bold name like Atticus, you shouldn't "waste" it by calling him by his initials. I'm fine with nicknames in general, but I would just informally shorten it to Att, Atti, or even Gus, for when you ask him to pass the mashed potatoes across the table, kwim?

    Not a fan of Az in any way.

    Yup.  Because I know a lot of people, who, when trying to avoid saying "a$$", will say "That smells like Azz, gross."  

    So I'd consider looking for another NN.

    Personally I see Atticus and I think the natural NN is Finch.
