Hey
We are really stuck! We are due b/g twins in 2 weeks and can't decide on the boys name !
Our surname is Edwards
Our daughter is to be called ottilie (Tilly or otter for short I think!)

Here is our shortlist ....
please let me know your thoughts !

George
Jakobe
Rufus
Fox
(Or fox with fox as a nickname?! If we chicken out of going with fox as a main name?!)
Digby
Enzo (does it sound like enzyme ?!)
Axel
Ezra (we aren't Jewish and I heard this was?)
Otis (Otis and ottilie a bit cheesy?!)
Arthur
Albert (alby for short)
Reggie (my husband loves but I'm worried about "regd/rejected" connotations and also reggie from coronation street?!)
Ludo

Any thoughts on above or new names to go with our surname really welcome! I love alliteration or vowels with the surname like ezra Edwards
But then unusual names like fox are so sweet and easier to call a kid foxy than "Ezra " when a baby!!

We have very similar tastes! I'd definitely go Ottilie and Finn.

I LOVE Fox but my DH vetoed it on behalf of our kid's future and actually, he's right. Great as a middle name though. Finn Fox Edwards is fab.

I don't think anyone would naturally pronounce Jakobe as "Jack O Bee"...I'd spell it "Jacobi" (as in Derek).

Came back to say that I love Ludo and Ottilie together and I like the fact they’re both Germanic in origin.

Thank you everyone for your input!!! I'm still undecided but this is great food for thought !!! X

You can't have an Otter and a Fox haha!

Ottilie and Albie sound nice together and go well without being too matchy.
I love Ezra and would in no way associate with being Jewish, however not sure if it goes with your surname.

Surely a Fox has to be ginger to suit his name?! Not sure if all the comments about Fox being a good name are a joke?!
