I’ve posted here before whilst pregnant with my shortlist, and now that baby is here and 2 weeks old I still haven’t made a decision 🙈
From my list we’ve sort of whittled it down to Otis or Caspar, I also like Rudy but we’re both not sure, argh!

Brothers are Rafe and Milo.

We have an appt to register him on Thursday.

Thank you Alexthekid, it really suits him and we knew when we arrived at the town hall 😊

Thanks so much everyone - we went with Otis and it’s perfect :-)

Otis always makes me think of the aardvark but no one else seems to have made that connection.
I prefer Caspar personally (although I think I would spell it Casper) but I think Otis goes better with your boys’ names. I wouldn’t want two with the same initial, so I’d avoid Rudy.

Otis

Ack - sorry - one was a cat. It was a pug and a cat.

grincheux · 15/05/2019 16:52

Milo and Otis were a pair of dogs in a kids show years ago, something to think about...

LarkDescending · 15/05/2019 16:50

Caspar all the way!

SunsetOverEasterIsland · 15/05/2019 16:47

Love Casper with Rafe and Milo but if you wanted 4 letter names for them all, I prefer Otis to Rudy.

Flamingosnbears · 15/05/2019 16:39

Caspar is Lovely OP

Cbeebiesrehab · 15/05/2019 16:36

100% Otis!! Goes perfectly with your other boys names.

Thanks everyone, pretty mixed!
I’ve been thinking Otis the whole way along, Caspar I love the Scandi vibe but I don’t know if it’s a bit wet sounding for an adult?
Talk about overthink it, argh!

Caspar by a long way.

itssquidstella · 15/05/2019 14:39

I think Rudy and Rafe are too much together. Caspar and Otis are both nice; I prefer Caspar but think Otis works well with your other ears' names.

tdam · 15/05/2019 13:38

Love Caspar and Otis but as you have a Milo I'd choose Caspar over Otis! Your sons have very cool names Smile

MyFamilyAndOtherAnimals1 · 15/05/2019 13:34

Caspar, not Casper @Pegaroo - a king & a saint, not a ghost.

Me and my DH know a properly amazing man called Caspar, so it gets my vote!

TrixieFranklin · 15/05/2019 13:32

Casper by a mile

Shadow1234 · 15/05/2019 13:30

Otis definitely fits best with the other two names.

Mintypea5 · 15/05/2019 12:48

Love Casper still sad DH won't let me have it on our list

Reaah · 15/05/2019 12:42

Otis fits better with the other two names.

Sophronia · 15/05/2019 12:35

Otis goes well with the brothers’ names.

bridgetreilly · 15/05/2019 09:34

Caspar.

Otis is a lift.

Proseccofuelled · 15/05/2019 09:25

Love both but probably Caspar for me although both are great
