Help!! Due now and struggling with names!

Hi

So we have a DS and he is called Arlo which suits him perfectly. I am due today and love the name Willa for a girl but struggling for a boys name. Like Josh, Otto (but think too similar to DS) and think I like Felix. DH likes Cory...

Any preference or ideas?!

Felix is an ace name.

Otto and Arlo sound too similar imo

Louis is the name you're looking for, I think.

Felix is cool and goes well with Arlo.
Agree Otto is too similar.
Not keen on Josh or Cory.

I love the name Felix and it goes well with Arlo. Otto doesn't work. Josh and Cory nice names but very American to me.

Thanks for the ideas and views. Really useful. (Also glad no one likes Cory as I thought it was too American!).

Felix is a great name. I also quite like Jasper just to throw that in the mix!

Felix is a super name, also like Jasper very much.

Not keen on Cory though.

I think of wasps when I think of jasper. And not a fan of the twilight association. But thank you!

Can I be the one who adds Feleix sounds too much of a cats name? I don't like it at all.
It wouldn't bother me to put Otto with Arlo as I love these names but understand some might find it too same-y. This is your choice OP & it doesn't matter what my or anyone else's opinion is as long as you feel happy with the name. Best of luck with the birth!

Love Kit but rhymes with the first syllable of our surname... Some other excellent suggestions though thank you. At the moment hoping it is a girl as then we both actually agree on a name!

I think Arlo and Otto are fine together. I know a last who has Evan and Ewan!
