I like Fergus and Angus best

Oscar is really popular in my area so I would avoid that

I love Otis and think it would be mega cute on a toddler but struggle to imagine it on anybody over the age of 8

I like them all. My favourite is Angus.

Oscar and Felix are quite popular at the moment.

SumAndSubstance · 15/07/2018 13:04

Angus, Jasper, Fergus. In that order.

starkid · 15/07/2018 11:59

I like Jasper most :)

StrawberryCat · 15/07/2018 10:44

Lovely names! (Although not so keen on Otis)

Angus is my favourite!

Susannach · 15/07/2018 10:10

Love Felix, Jasper and Oscar! How about Magnus?

Fergus

To be honest, I didn’t really know much about Otis Ferry. I guess there’s always someone out there who will share your child’s name who you don’t like.

I like Otis very much but it's a bit tainted by the vile Otis Ferry.

jigsawpiece · 15/07/2018 00:35

Against the grain - the only one I like is Otis. Great name!

daisypond · 14/07/2018 18:59

Angus - like
Fergus - like
Otis - no, awful.
Felix - like but probably wouldn't use
Jasper - OK, but not my taste
Oscar - like.

They sound like the names you would give a Jack Russell!
What about Cameron? That's Scottish.

mehhh · 14/07/2018 18:40

I like Otis and jasper

Royallypissedoff1 · 14/07/2018 18:39

Jasper is the nicest! Very strong and classy

Oscar is the sort of name you'd here screeched out in ASAD

Luckily no Asda’s near me! Grin

Angus
Fergus
Otis
Felix
Jasper
Oscar

I like Angus and Fergus a lot. I like Magnus, whichis similar, a bit more. I love it.
I like Felix and Jasper.
Otis is dreadful and Oscar is the sort of name you'd here screeched out in Asda.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/07/2018 13:26

I Only like Otis

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/07/2018 13:17

I would choose Fergus, love it !

user1498549192 · 14/07/2018 12:44

I really would wait to meet him. Angus was at the top of our list, but when he was born we just knew it didn't suit him!

mistermagpie · 14/07/2018 11:09

Angus is my favourite but I have a Magnus which is very similar. Remember, you don't need six names on a list for one baby, so try to get it down to two and then see what he looks like!

MollyHuaCha · 14/07/2018 10:47
  1. Oscar
  2. Otis
  3. Angus
  4. Felix
  5. Fergus
  6. Jasper
Ginandplatonic · 14/07/2018 10:45

Angus has worked well for us. Smile I still love it 14 years later!

toomanyeastereggsurghh · 14/07/2018 10:40

Oscar is nice but super popular at the mo.
I love Felix, such a cute name. I also like Jasper from your list. Not keen on the others. Rory is another similar option I love.

HJL2506 · 14/07/2018 10:28

I like Jasper the most!
