We're due our third boy in 4 weeks time and of course I have a girls name but am still going around and around with the boys list Grin

Looking for opinions on the below please! I'm not sure on any of them really but I feel like I've heard everything that exists...
We have a Rafe and a Milo.

Otis
Scout
Rudy
Caspar - OH's fave from my longer list

Thanks in advance!

Thanks everyone, it seems like Caspar or Otis are the preferred ones. I keep coming back to Otis and my husband prefers Caspar. I guess I always want to know I've not missed something or considered other names that I could love but even on this thread nothing is grabbing me really.
I do like Bodhi, though I'm not sure if it goes well with my other names, Otto is also on my list but Milo has an 'o' ending... Caspian and Cassius are both very cool but I don't know if they're a bit of a mouthful next to Rafe and Milo.
I'm not really bothered about the Milo and Otis film association but thank you for pointing out anyway!

From your list... Casper!

Se7en11 · 05/04/2019 08:39

I love Otis... would go really well with Clementine I think

have you thought about Ruben?

Caspar is cool too

nothing else mentioned by others on this thread really grabs me

Hal
Dexter
Nate
Zach

Also really like Caspian. I know a little Caspian and he's cute as a button.

JenniferJareau · 05/04/2019 06:40

Caspar or Otis.

chalkyc2 · 05/04/2019 06:38

Cassius? I have one and he's Cass mostly and I still LOVE it. I only like Casper with an 'e'. Love Otis too.

Peachbubble · 05/04/2019 06:11

I like Caspar, How about Rory, Toby, Noah, Finn, Otto or Hugo?

Theoldwoman · 05/04/2019 01:36

Otis or Casper.

MercyBodle · 05/04/2019 01:24

Caspar is the outstanding name on your list for me. Great name and great with the brothers. I wouldn't do Milo and Otis - or is the film forgotten these days?

Aprilflangebucket · 04/04/2019 22:47

Ezra?

Bodhi is so 😍

From your list Otis works best IMO

Chocolatecake12 · 04/04/2019 22:41

Out of your list I like Otis the best but how about
Joel
Saul
Max
Jude
Hugo
Gus
Felix

KirstyT11 · 04/04/2019 22:36

Love Otis the most from your list! Was on my list but hubby said no. I quite like Rudy too.

What about Seth, owen, Elias.

Shadow1234 · 04/04/2019 20:26

Otis

calpop · 04/04/2019 19:41

Casper. Or Calvin or Caleb?

BloominSloe · 04/04/2019 19:39

I actually really like Scout for a boy! I love Otis, Caspar and Scout. Not keen on Rudy personally.

Mrssnowflake · 04/04/2019 19:20

How about Bodhi or Flynn?

daisypond · 04/04/2019 19:18

I like Rudy but only if short for Rudolph, which I really like. Scout is a girl's name. Otis is just a lift manufacturer, to me. Caspar is OK... It could grow on me. Jasper? Marcus? Guy?

Rainbodash · 04/04/2019 19:18

Oh sorry - just read earlier post!

Rainbodash · 04/04/2019 19:17

Clement?

Whereisthegin1978 · 04/04/2019 19:13

I like Otis the best - I think it goes well with the other boys. But really difficult, they are all great names

pilates · 04/04/2019 19:08

Otis

MakeAWhish · 04/04/2019 18:59
