we're stuck for a boy's name, ages to decide yet, we have a wyatt and a joseph.

middle name will be ronald. (family links)

we have beatrice sally for a girl (family links again)

i'm not sure on Otis. if not what 'b' names are there for boys, please not ben or any variation on it though. We did both like bertie, or Albie is that a sound name, not too pompus (hubs and I are the least pompus you'd meet)

I love Otis.

Sunna · 16/08/2014 09:14

Redneck American is what comes to mind.

Muskey · 16/08/2014 09:13

My first thought for Otis was redding but I really love the name. Given the other names you have for your dc how about Noah not sure why it just popped into my head

scottishmummy · 16/08/2014 09:06

Otis,lifts or musician,or aardvark ,or horah henry son of bryan ferry

Theresomethingaboutdairy · 16/08/2014 08:52

Lifts!

Fruityb · 15/08/2014 13:09

Monkey Island! There was a character called that on there lol

(It's a computer game. The lead character is called Guybrush so could be worse)

All the things people have already said were what came into my mind when DH's best mate had his first child a couple of years ago, who was named Otis. But now, when I hear Otis I think of this cute little boy. I mean, it's a real name, isn't it. Lifts, funny kids puppet, awesome singer, they aren't the worst associations in the world.
