Otis for a boy?

[fluttertummy]

What do you think of this name? One of the few my DP has come up with!!

Love it...think it is really cute x

sorry, don't like it.

I like it, but wouldn't use it. Sounds like an earache solution to me.
Brian Ferry has an Otis if that helps at all.

Fab!

Not keen, sorry.

I put it in the same pile as Curtis etc. Surnamey.

No likey.

Love it. Tobey Maguire (Spiderman) has an Otis as well. And there's Otis Redding so if you are music fans, great singer to share a name with.

Could be quite sweet. Wasn't there an aardvark puppet with this name on CBBC a few years back?

know one, brother of Oscar. Think it's nice.

also knew a girl called Eve with Otis as a MN.

I think it's fantastic! DH said it half joking when I was pregnant and then we both looked at each other and said "Actually it's good!" Didn't use it in the end, went with Reuben.

No, ridiculous. Name for an Aardvark.

I like it, I've never heard of this Aardvark!

To me Otis sounds like oh it is said lazily. It would depend on the names that come after it, to make sure he doesn't sound like an exclaimation. Otis John Parker = fine. Otis Col Dowt = terrible. Thankfully there aren't many really bad last names in that way.

Really like it.
Did make me think of Otis the Aardvark though too

I like it!

It's cute.... Just try it out with the surname because it's the sort of name that could go very wrong with wrong surname!

But I like that it's not very common.

I love it.. it's my dog's name.

Reminds me too much of lifts.

I know one but always reminds me of the lifts (Look next time you are in one, they are all made by Otis!)

Aardvark springs to mind for me too I'm afraid.

But...that's not something kids today would think of and I actually really like it!

Any help please
I’m days away from having my second baby.
we are still struggling for boys names. We don’t know what we are having
we have 1 little girl called Emmie and her middle name is Taylor.
I like a couple of middle names so here are the shortlists.
names we seem to most like are

Otis Jude
Lando Jude
Rufus Lloyd
Jenson Lloyd
Hudson Jude

we did love Jude but my Daughter has a very good little friend at school called Jude so don’t want it as a first name and my husbands middle name is Lloyd.
we loved Jesse when my daughter was born but without knowing my brother in law used it so a no go there.

any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Love the name Otis

I like it but its very popular at the moment. Has been for the last 3 years. Its the main character in Sex Education along with Maeve. Otis and Maeve were the fastest rising names in 2020. I think Otis charted in top 100 in 2021. This might appeal to you though and make yoh consider it more.
