Hi All,
Our DS2 is now 10 days old and we haven’t been able to make a final decision on names! We’re looking for something that isn’t stupidly popular but also not too far off the beaten track. Our two final options are Otto and Rafe.

If it matters we’re based in SE England near London and surname is Carroll.

I’d welcome any opinions on either name - as we can’t pick between the two!

Otto

the other one's too weird and not in a good way

I like Otto better.

I think Rafe is too 'posh', too nicknamey and too close to Rape.

Congratulations!
I prefer Rafe!

Congratulations on DS2! I like Rafe and think it sounds better with your surname
