I don't like either but respect that you aren't open for other suggestions so won't offer any. Given that atlas is a book of maps and not a name IMO I voted for Odin by default.
I like Atlas better then Odin (I personally try to avoid using the kings/leaders of various mythological gods, seems, egotistical) But, I would also be wary meeting a person named Atlas for fear their parents were big Objectivists and raised a monster of a prick.
I much prefer Atlas - bizarrely I've heard of a few children with Thor and Odin monikers recently, and while I don't think your child will be one of many, I find Atlas a lot more refreshing and completely unrelated to Marvel (which is where I think a lot of those people got the names from - NOT from mythology)
I just can't get behind either of these. Odin makes me think of Odie from Garfield and Atlas is too out there for me. I can't imagine seeing it on a resume.
Odin. In addition to Atlas referencing a book of maps, there is something about Atlas shouldering the weight of the world that I don't like. It seems like a bad omen/wish for your child.
ETA: I know Atlas held up the heavens but it still a punishment. And most people would think of bearing the weight of the world and have that association.
I'm usually not a fan of mythological names but I love Atlas.
Imagine if your kid gets the travel bug with a name like that.
Odin reminds me of that patchouli-wearing dork I dated in the 11th grade. He thought he was a psychic. He charged people money for tarot readings and had this weird Asgard obsession and a vintage boy George tshirt that he wore with Tibetan prayer beads.

I thought of this too. I'm still a fan but this is something to be aware of.
