...For a girl or boy? I have already reluctantly ruled out Wallis (for a girl) but perhaps things along those lines?

Thanks.

Otis is a truly brilliant name!

Had thought about Martha and still like it but just read an autobiog of Martha Gellhorn and she sounds like a right pain in the bum. It has put me off a bit. DD1 middle name is Rose.
