[VickyU]

Our surname is very difficult and starts with the letter 'U' (as my username might suggest!). I think this means that names we really love with vowels at the end (Milo, Arlo, Ivo) are out of the question but would love to hear thoughts on that. Other than that, we have:

Arthur (Artie)
Albert (Bertie)
Wilfrid (Wilf)
Otis (DH loves, i'm not sure I have the nerve!)

We were decided on Felix for quite a while until it was noted at my baby shower that his initials would be FU!

Thanks in advance x

Arthur is the best of the bunch.

Like Arthur and Bertie best. Not so keen on Wilf.

Otis might be a grower

Otis
Albert
Wilfred
Arthur

I know a child Otis, he's great!

I think you can have an o next to U. Milo Underwood for example is fine.

Otis or Wilfred, there was a Wolfred at ds swim class last year

Arthur and Albert are also favourites for baby Cambridge
Don't like Wilf
Otis is ok
Love Felix, shame about FU

Thanks so much everyone. Lynette - the problem with our surname is that the U is pronounced 'ewe' if that makes sense rather than 'Uh' as in Underwood!

All lovely names

bertie

I love all of them

I love all of them. Bertie & Arthur are my favourites .

Otis isn't too awful, the other names are shit.

Thanks so much for all of your opinions. Good and bad! it's so difficult isn't it as its so subjective but really great to hear what people think.

Otis is my favourite out of your list. In fact, I am surprised you consider it to be the risk choice.

I think you can have a name finishing 'o' with a 'ewe' surname. For example Arlo Yewtree sounds fine. I love Ivor shortened to Ivo, would that work? All your other names are ok although I don't personally like Otis.

I have an Arlo,Best Name Ever

I think o U names would be fine really....

Arlo Ulysse
Ivo Ulysse
Milo Ulysse

Ivor Ulysse is an option perhaps? Shortened to Ivo?

Also like Bertie and Artie.

Arthur.

I have a Felix though and love that more!

Otis makes me think of lifts.

Bertie and Wilf are my favourites from your list.

Great names.

Love Milo and Arlo, and I think they are fine with a U surname, just not an O!

Like Bertie and Arthur, also like Archie if that makes it less Royal-potential! Not keen on Wilfrid, and Otis I like but it sounds like a young name to me, not sure if it would grow with him?... Good list, though, like your style.

Felixs reminds me if a cat

Of

Love Otis. Arthur is sweet.

Wilfred is foul and try-hard.

the nickname diminutives I don't like,too cutesy
like all the names
but Otis I like best

Agree with other posters - names ending with o would go with surname beginning with U. Names ending with consonants may run into surname.

love the name Otis!
