Why are boy names so bloody hard?

So far DH and I have the following:

Cyrus
Elijah
Otis
Alastair
Cole
Henry
Liam
Rory

DH favourites are:
Elijah
Rory
Liam

My favourites are:
Cyrus
Elijah
Otis

Up until today DH has been dead set against my top name - Otis - but now he is ‘coming round’ apparently.

Can anyone suggest any names we might also like? Or point out anything we should drop?

Before the Lifts/Aardvark comments, it doesn’t put me off Otis Grin

Otto is the obvious one.

Luca
Seth
Silas

Elijah is lovely.
Silas is a nice suggestion.

Seth- I love this and we’ve been discussing it but DH says it like Sef (like the f in free not in three) and it makes me want to throttle him.

We’ve also consider Silas but we’re not in love with it.

Will mention Luca to DH 👍🏼

Thanks for the suggestions.

Otis is my top name for my third boy so wins my vote - I also find boys names bloody hard!
I have a Rafe and a Milo. I also have Otto, Rudy, Atlas on my list. Good luck!

I really like Henry and Cole. The other names I’m not keen on, sorry.
