Third boy help!

53 replies

Ipanema01 · 07/12/2018 14:04

I have two boys and have just found out I’m having another Grin
I find boys names so difficult and need help!
I have a Rafe and a Milo, and prefer slightly less heard of, non traditional names.
I’ve listed some ideas below but am not sure on any and am ready for some backlash on some of them. I keep coming back to Otis. Any thoughts on others I might like?
Otto
Rudy
Scout
Atlas
Atticus
Caspar

Rudy=Rude? Or the bat (Giuliani).
Caspar is the only one that works for me.

Bloody love Rudy. Told someone I know with that name and he said do not name your child it, his life was hell apparently!

I so wish I had though.

Actually love all of your list and your current names! Otto would go well wkth them I think.

Another thought: Sonny?

@ReginaPhalange89 the poster has apologised, they made a mistake and made the comment based on the thread title alone

Otis - I love safety lifts and will often regale nervous or dubious friends with an explanation of how they work.

ReginaPhalange89 · 07/12/2018 19:52

"Oh no! Was you hoping for a girl"

Do you have any idea how rude that is ? I am dreading this about announcing my 3rd pregnancy because I just KNOW people are going to expect I want a boy this time 🙄

Op, I like Rudy! Otis is cute too. What about Evan ?

YouSetTheTone · 07/12/2018 19:44

I think Otis works really well! Congrats. I’m expecting my third boy too Grin

Santababyclaus · 07/12/2018 18:52

I also love Atlas but my DP is vehemently against it Sad

Orson
Arnold (Arnie)
Evander (Van)
Digby
Woody (could use Edward on bc)

abcriskringle · 07/12/2018 18:04

Ah I love your name choices! Atlas is my top name for a second Ds (if we have one) but love Otis too.

TopCat1881 · 07/12/2018 17:06

WTAF????

Otis Smile congratulations!
Boys are just lovely aren't they

Otis definitely fits well with your other boys' names

YahBasic · 07/12/2018 16:58

Love Otis, it’s perfect with your other boys!

Caspar is also gorgeous, but I do like that four letter but different sounds feel. Jago and Jaco (pron. Ya-cu) are two of my favourites.

Peachbubble · 07/12/2018 16:52

How about

Tate
Eli
Asher
Ezra
Arlo
Finn

Love Caspar from your list

Owletty · 07/12/2018 15:35

I love Atlas 😍

MiseryLoves · 07/12/2018 15:21

Oh no! Was you hoping for a girl?

Why would you even think that’s an acceptable question?

I’m sure the sex of the baby was the least of what the Op was ‘hoping for’

starkid · 07/12/2018 15:21

I love Caspar!

expatmigrant · 07/12/2018 15:03

I really like Caspar and my DS has a friend called Cosmo, which I also quite like.

Raintreeap · 07/12/2018 14:55
