We think we are down to our contenders for our first baby due next month, we have kept the gender a surprise.

We both are huge country music fans and that's were some of the inspo on the boys names comes in - I know they won't be everyone's taste.

What are peoples honest opinions, I know the boys names especially aren't overly common in the UK but I think they are recognisable enough and easy to pronounce.

Boys

Rhett Oliver
Nash Jude
Atlas Terrence (Terrence is family name)

Girls

Aubrey Florence (nn Bre or Aub)
Ottilie Honey (nn Ottie or Otts)

Thanks :)

Ottlilie will get called Attila the Hun

You mean Attila the Hen - as Mrs Thatcher was once called!

Just so you know, it is ok if your child has the same name as another (or a few) in their school. Nothing bad will come of it.

Please don’t call your child Nash.

Ottlilie will get called Attila the Hun

I actually like atlas. Nash and Rhett are awful. Aubrey is a boy's name and ottolie is quite overused now and will be 'the' dated name of the 2020s IMO.

I love Atlas abd I prefer middle names to be family names so Atlas Terrence gets my vote.

I prefer Aubrey to Ottilie and I also think Ottilie will date. Its very much going to be a from 2020 era. I prefer that not to happen.

babasaclover · 07/08/2025 08:37

Rhett sounds like retch 🤮. Got to think of what kids do with it also no one will know how to spell it so the poor kid will have that his whole life

UninterestedBeing12 · 07/08/2025 08:35

The boys names are not great. Why would you call a child Atlas. The Titan condemned to hold up the heavens or sky for eternity.

The girls names aren't much better.

Just putting it out there, the child might not be a country music fan. It's never good to give a child a name they have to carry for life based on their parents interests.

I like Atlas and Aubrey - good luck!

ps middle names are so rarely used, it doesn’t really matter what you use

disappointedconfused · 07/08/2025 08:31

Putting terrence with atlas is just awful sorry

PestoHoliday · 07/08/2025 08:31

I thought Aubrey was a boy's nsme

Soontobe60 · 07/08/2025 08:31

I love all the second name choices, the first name choices are too ‘out there’ for my liking, especially the boys. Rhett - as in Rhett Butler, Gone With The Wind, Nash - as in Gnasher the dog from the Beano, Atlas - what if he turns out to be a small skinny boy? Aubrey - I think of this as a boys name, Ottilie - people might think it’s Hottilie, could be teased?

Dueindecemberr · 07/08/2025 08:30

I like both of your girls names, although wouldn’t have an ‘e’ sounding middle name after an ‘e’ first name. I don’t like any of your boys names, sorry!

ApolloandDaphne · 07/08/2025 08:30

I like Ottilie but with Florence not Honey.

I think Rhett is the best of your boys names but i am not really keen on any of them. We had a big tattooed builder whose nickname was Nash. He was very nice but I'm not really seeing it for a baby. Jude or Oliver would both be nicer.

Westfacing · 07/08/2025 08:26

I'm not keen on any of your boys names sorry. And Aubrey is also a boy's name.

Ottilie is a nice name although not as rare as you probably think.
