Third boy help!

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

I like Otis a lot too! I also like Caspar and Atticus.

I dislike Rudy (too rude-y) and Otto (unfashionable middle aged German male name).

How about Quentin (Quinn), Reuben or Rufus?

I love that your chosen names are more unusual than 90% of them on MN threads!

I love Otis and Otto, they were both on my shortlist.
I also love Atlas.

Atticus isn't my style but it's okay. Rudy is the only one I dislike.

Otis is really cool! Never met one, but everyone will have heard of it and know how to spell it. I also like that it’s 4 letters like your others but with a totally different sound.

Also love Otto and Caspar.

How about Dashiell, Flynn or Huxley?
