We already have a bit named Felix. Thinking of Otto or Hugo. But surname is Wass. Does it sound too much like Hugo Boss or does it not matter?!

I think Otto works with your last name.... I am not getting "Octopus" at all.

Love Otto but don't think it goes with your surname, sadly. How about Otis?

Footle · 01/04/2018 10:19

Ottoline , Ottilie or Octavia for a girl, obviously.

Joeybee · 01/04/2018 09:35

Prefer Hugo to Otto (in-fact Hugo is in my top 3 names for boys), don't think the surname thing is an issue enough to not use the name.

Pronounced Woss, just like Boss, so yeah tricky! (Love dh but not the name!).

Fantastic ideas, lots to think about thank you. Felix has ginger/ strawberry blonde hair so Rufus may be quite apt if we have another ginge! Also LOVE Florence but already been used in our family.

You can’t use Hugo with Wass, it is too much like Hugo Boss! Although, I much prefer Hugo to Otto.

Tattybogle89 · 31/03/2018 23:03

Is wass pronounced as it looks or as vass?
I agree Otto wass sounds like octopus
Hugo boss I can hear aswell with Hugo sorryquite a hard name to pair with.
Arlo is nice

Emelene · 31/03/2018 22:56

Eliza is fabulous with big brother Felix! Smile

CheerfulYank · 31/03/2018 22:54

Arlo?
Leo, Magnus, Jasper? Jude, Archer?

Margot, Iris, Beatrix, Ingrid?

pieceofpurplesky · 31/03/2018 22:49

Rufus Wass and Zach Wass sound great.
Otto out of the two.

I love Eliza and also Florence goes well

LexieLulu · 31/03/2018 22:12

Otto reminds me of the Simpson. I haven't even watched the Simpsons for 15-20 years! It was just my initial reaction

chachaboom · 31/03/2018 21:51

Oona Wass may be mis heard as universe! Tricky but cool surname.

Doilooklikeatourist · 31/03/2018 21:46

There is a Welsh boys name Guto ( sort of Gee Toe )
Ellis ?
For girls I like both Eliza and Oona ( Oonagh | Una )

I'm 36 weeks and Felix came at 38 weeks. You'd think that we'd have decided by now! Thank you for your help guys ☺

Thank you. Felix' middle name is Albert (my Grandads name) Think I may have chosen this for baby number 2 if we hadn't used it already. Nearly called Felix Hector. I like it but dh is not convinced.

Littlemum2be86 · 31/03/2018 21:06

I love Eliza! Also like Hugo best. Think Felix and Hugo sound lovely together

LastNightsMakeUp · 31/03/2018 21:05

Love Eliza, if we hadn't used Elizabeth as our dds mn it's be on our list 👍

RavenWings · 31/03/2018 21:04

The Una spelling is much nicer imo. I prefer it to Eliza - Eliza is fine, but nothing special. I met an Eliska once which was similar but a much nicer name.

MaryPoppinsStoleMyHandbag · 31/03/2018 21:01

Hugh Wass sounds a bit too much like ‘huge ass’ to me. Otto is nice.

SaraW8 · 31/03/2018 21:01

Also, girls names. (Don't know the sex) Thinking Oona or Eliza. Any thoughts? Want something strong but pretty too.

RavenWings · 31/03/2018 20:59

I honestly don't think Hugo is cool, it's popular as a kids name ime. Doesnt mean it's uncool either but it's not a unique or standout choice.

I don't mind Otto or Hugh.
