Boys names like Otto

It's a boy so starting to get serious about names. We like the 'o' sound, ideally something not too out there but not so common he'll be one of four in his class. Surname doesn't tend to work with names ending in 's'.

Top are Otto and Leo (would go for full Leopald on birth certificate :) ). We can't do Theo although it's our fave, for fairly good reasons. Cosmo and Milo are a no from boyfriend. I like Jago, he's not convinced.

I'm flip flopping on Otto. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. Am thinking it's good to have a few options in case we decide he's not an Otto. Boyfriend thinks this is silly as does not one baby look like another?

I like Louis and Sylvester, but he's slightly less keen. Ezra was also a thought.

Any suggestions? I want a couple more that pass the boyfriend approval test.

And DH wanted to call him Peregrine or Ajax, so I do empathise reetgood with trying to compromise!
