Otis?

[MakeYouSoSureAboutIt]

Currently TTC without much success but DH and I like to discuss baby names anyway.

He is on board with my other names - for a girl; Lydia or Elena and for a boy Henry or Winston. But he hates, hates, hates Otis! But I love it.

MN opinions?

Inoffensive! IMO :) Puts me in mind of Otis Redding. Seems quite different to your other choices!

I used to see that name on the lifts at work

I like it but it does make me think of the aardvark. Showing my age!!!

Yes Goostacean Otis Redding is may have been my inspiration

The name just makes me smile when I hear it. I suppose I will just continue to work on DH.

The aardvark

Never heard of ‘Otis the Aardvark’

Too afraid to google!

No way to Otis & Winston
Yes to the other names

Listen to your husband

This, to me, is Otis.

Love the name Otis. It's so sweet for a child but also totally works on a man. I love all the names from the 1900's-1920's that are now coming back into vogue. Otis sounds trendy and modern, yet it's traditional and old man chic. I think you should try and win him over on this name.

Haha Faster even that made me smile. I still love it! It’s such a good name.

Otis!

I like Otis , and Otto if you like O names x

Love it!

I like it

Oh even better, then enjoy!

Ah you said DH isn’t keen... well I guess I can see why someone might not like it, but it’s a question of taste rather than “oh my days NOOO!”

Hate it.

If you've got a plain surname, yes.

I love Otis, but if your husband hates it, it's non-negotiable.

Makes me think of the wonderful Otis Redding so 👍

Love the name Otis! Classic, strong and easy to spell and say! Henry is so boring and overused in comparison, especially with a common surname.

My friend has just had a baby Otis. I think it's very sweet and she's quite trendsetting so it may be on the rise.

Like Otis, love Otto which is similar I think. Really strongly dislike Winston!

I like it Otis Redding, for me too!

My little boy's best friend is Otis. He is a sunny delight of a kid, and it will be a lovely mans name too.
I can't imagine a baby Winston. But that just me.

Oh and best of everything in conception stakes. X

Sorry OP, not keen on Otis. No clue as to why, but I imagine Otis being the name of a mouse or a llama, could never see it on a child. This is all simply a matter of personal opinion however. Your other chosen names are absolutely lovely!
