Hey
We are really stuck! We are due b/g twins in 2 weeks and can't decide on the boys name !
Our surname is Edwards
Our daughter is to be called ottilie (Tilly or otter for short I think!)

Here is our shortlist ....
please let me know your thoughts !

George
Jakobe
Rufus
Fox
(Or fox with fox as a nickname?! If we chicken out of going with fox as a main name?!)
Digby
Enzo (does it sound like enzyme ?!)
Axel
Ezra (we aren't Jewish and I heard this was?)
Otis (Otis and ottilie a bit cheesy?!)
Arthur
Albert (alby for short)
Reggie (my husband loves but I'm worried about "regd/rejected" connotations and also reggie from coronation street?!)
Ludo

Any thoughts on above or new names to go with our surname really welcome! I love alliteration or vowels with the surname like ezra Edwards
But then unusual names like fox are so sweet and easier to call a kid foxy than "Ezra " when a baby!!

Like jack-o-be !!! But maybe jack too popular atm!

Thank you for all your responses
I really like axel
But read that it reminds people of axl rose spelling out " oral sex"!
Also is it too "mature" for a child?

Can any of you recommend a nickname for axel?! Or " fox/foxy " as a middle name for nn until ds is older?!

Any other suggestions v welcome!!

Is Jakobe pronounced like Jacob? Or like Jack-o-be?

George - lovely name although slightly overused imo.

Jakobe - not keen, is it pronounced like Jacob?

Rufus - I see this as a name for a pet. I prefer Rupert.

Fox - I kind of like this.

Digby - dogs name.

Enzo - it's okay.

Axel - really like this.

Ezra - really like this.

Otis - love this but not with Ottilie.

Arthur - another nice name that's overused.

Albert - not too keen, prefer albie or albus as stand alone names.

Reggie - really dislike this.

Ludo - I like this.
