Opinions please! Or something great we may have missed?

I love Magnus.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/10/2015 18:42

Love Barnaby.

SmugairleRoin · 04/10/2015 18:49

Absolutely hate Barnaby.
The other two are fine but for some reason I'm struggling to picture them on anyone other than a 40 year old man with a Tom Selleck esque moustache!

Otis is a big doggy but I like Magnus and Barnaby - how about Sylvester or Sebastian?

LeaveMyWingsBehindMe · 04/10/2015 19:21

Magnus. It's so cool.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 04/10/2015 19:23

Like Barnaby. I think Otis could grow on me. Dislike Magnus.

Angus
Otto
Orlando
Sebastian
Rufus

I like Otis best.

DramaAlpaca · 04/10/2015 19:38

My favourite from your list is Magnus, followed by Otis. I don't like Barnaby.

cece · 04/10/2015 19:40

Magnus I like

Otis is a doggy name.

Barnaby - makes me think of a purple dinosaur

CormoranStrike · 04/10/2015 19:48

Magnus is great, the best of three good names. However, they seem very different names to me, different personalities

Only1scoop · 04/10/2015 19:53

Barnaby is ok
Magnus not so
Otis not sure

Oscar
Douglas
Buster
Dudley

GrizzlebertGrumbledink · 04/10/2015 19:55

Otis will always be the name of an aardvark to me im afraid. I do like it though, and your other suggestion, I like Magnus the most though

VeryEarlyDays · 04/10/2015 20:00

I have a good friend called Barnaby. Lovely name.but he gets really passed off and everything telling him "my dogs called barney, Barnaby" would have thought buster would have a similar issue.......?

Allalonenow · 04/10/2015 20:04

Magnus is my favourite.

Barnaby second choice, and personally I would't use Otis.

celtictoast · 04/10/2015 20:08

Magnus

Tirfarthoin · 04/10/2015 20:12

Magnus is the name that got away for DS1, he is named something very close to it. so its Magnus from me

babyconverse · 04/10/2015 21:17

Dudley was on an earlier version of the shortlist so interesting that came up!

Thanks all - that's been really helpful. Having a bit of a wobble but I think we've decided :)
