Names with O in them

Looking for names that have the letter O in them - ideas for both genders welcome but mostly boy’s names are needed please!

We’ve started an unintentional (and until v. recently unnoticed) theme with our LO’s names (Aurora, Theo & Violet) and even our dog’s name is Bobby lol. I’m also fluttering my lashes at DH for a smaller pet to get to use my ultimate ‘guilty pleasure’ name, Elwood which fits in the theme WinkGrin

We like names that can be shortened (George is on the list but we can’t think of any shortened forms we could potentially use) and that are still different enough in sound (no Theo and Milo, for example) Thanks!

... but something we’d consider if we, say, go for Elodie (from our list) and the other baby is a boy as one out of five wouldn’t have it. It’s something that would bother me then but if it’s two out of five? Eh! Especially as Violet is often Letty and we do use NNs.

Dominic (Nic), George (?), Hugo (Hugh), Jacob (Jake), Oliver (Olly), Oscar (Ozzy) or Otis (?) & Elodie (Elle), Florence (Ren), Imogen (Immy/Ginny), Margot (Maggie/?), Penelope (Nell/Penny) or Phoebe (Bea)

Thanks for the ideas! There are some we like but unfortunately can’t use.

We have either considered or have these on our list (that have been mentioned): Oliver, Otis, Josephine, Oscar, Phoebe, Dominic, Zoe, Jacob, George, Hugo, Margot, Elodie and Hermione... Was worried about Margot with Theo but he is officially Theodore so would either be Theodore & Margot or something like Theo & Maggie/Mari/etc (whatever NN comes naturally - these are just off the top of my head lol)

We have Iona, Orla, Roísín, Sorcha, Rowan and Oona as middle name options :)

Sorry forgot to mention... Above is the list we were thinking of (shouldn’t come back to a post after already typing a bit of it) with O in them and some of the shortened forms we’ve thought for them... Just trying not to clash with our LO’s names/NNs now!

pixieloux · 16/09/2018 22:15

Love Monty but DH has said a very firm no to Montgomery! Also love Tobias, NN Toby but not keen on initial sharing... Might be confusing when post turns up for two Mr T s in the future lol. Toby & Violet were always what I said my future children would be called when I was growing up though 😂
