Thoughts welcome.

I love Otis and Oscar, followed by Jasper.

The only one I'm not a fan of is Fergus. Also, Angus just reminds me of cattle.

I like them all, good list, but Oscar is too popular for me at the moment. I’d probably pick Jasper and Felix.

Otis!

I love Otis! It's not a name I've heard used very often, it's very cool. Angus, Jasper and Oscar all sounds a bit 'middle class try hard' to me. And I was put off of the name Felix by a boy DS2 used to know who was foul!

Definitely Otis Smile

Oscar and Felix are quite overused round here but may be a regional thing. Not keen on Jasper.
I like Angus and Fergus but my favourite from your list is definitely Otis, it's unusual without being too 'out there'.

Icklepup · 14/07/2018 09:50

I only like Felix

incorruptibledream · 14/07/2018 09:45

Oscar is a cats name

missyB1 · 14/07/2018 09:44

Either Angus or Fergus, they are both lovely names.

ColinsVeryJolly · 14/07/2018 09:44

Jasper is lovely

Dangerousminds · 14/07/2018 09:42

I don't think you can go wrong with any. Maybe Fergus or Otis as you don't hear them as much. But then I really love Jasper and Felix. Sorry not much help! Have you got a middle name? Does one work better with your surname?

Wait until you see them then pick from this shortlist

I really like all your names. Oscar is probably my favourite. Angus and Fergus sound Scottish to me, do you have Scottish connections?
