Surname would be Wilkin.

Thoughts please MNers!

Oscar was the first choice but have heard it's becoming quite a popular choice...

Colleague had a son called Otis, I thought it was really original, but it does conjures up thoughts of oatibix... lol

Can't decide if it goes well with Wilkin though....Otis Wilkin?

Prefer Oscar Wilkin.

I like Oscar, I wouldn't have it now because I have an Oliver and I think they sound funny together. I don't like Milo it reminds me of that puppet. Otis...I am not sure on.

true & milo is in tweenies

Soprry Char, reqests for names denied on grounds of excessive adoration of puppetry

Peachy, on that basis, Oscar is/was the grouch on Sesame Street .

Otis is /was manky puppet on kids TV, no!

Oscar is adorable, don't know any here (S E Wales)

Milo is OK,but my Dad has this thing about rhyming names and would immediately name hi Milo The Silo (to go with Sam The Spam and Stirly (Stirling) The Girly . Luckily he'd given up by ds3 / ds4 LOL)

What about Nigel?

I love Milo. What about Otto?

Oscar is becoming very popular round here (Surrey), so I probably wouldn't choose it.

Not keen on Milo as I never know how to pronounce it (Meelo or Mylo).

Love Otis - very cool, sophisticated and not still quite unique!
