Anyone know an Otis?

[NChangeForNoReason]

DS due in 4w and we still haven't chosen a name.

My criteria for a name is

*Unique (there were 3 of my name in my class at school, DH had 4 in his year at school and DD16 had 2 of her name in her class) - I would like to choose something that isn't widely used

*Doesn't end in "ie" or "y" - our surname ends with this and I find names with similar ending syllables are too sing songy

*Either short or I like the shortened version.

I really like Sebastian (Seb) but DH hates it ... he has suggested Otis instead. I'm not against it (and ticks all the boxes) but wondered if people with young kids had any Otis's in their class!!

Beautiful!

I like Otis. Prefer Sebastian tbh, but Otis is fine.

DS has a friend called Otis. He's 11. Gorgeous name!

We've got a lift at work, it's the only Otis I know.

I don’t like Otis. It always reminds me of that presenter from cbbc from my youth. I just see it as someone trying to find an alternative to the popular Oliver or Oscar.

I do however like Sebastian a lot.

Perhaps you may like Gabriel?

Yes I know one. He is a bit nuts but absolutely gorgeous and extremely sweet. His parents are lovely, very, very clever and multi-ethnic/nationality. I like it. Simple to say and spell but unusual and works across a lot of different languages.

I know a 1 year old Otis. Not keen on the name personally.

I don't know any, and only one Sebastian.

Suggestions

Benjamin (sounds a bit like Sebastian)
Thaddeus (unusual)

Otis is good. I want to add Redding.

Or Otto, Leo, Oscar, Felix

I have only ever known one Otis. He wasn't very nice and ended up in
prison.

I know two little boys called Otis, as well as the leading lad in the newish Netflix series Sex Ed.

Like Otis.

Also like Otto, Ivor.

Not a fan of Sebastian.

I know an Otis.
It reminds me of a to character though. It's not a name I would pick. Seb is great.

I know a north London Otis, who must be seven. He has an older brother called Ace.

Luka

I know a 1 year old Otis.

I know an Otis very well. He is my favourite boy 😍

Zeth ( nick cage in city of angels)

I know a 5yo Otis. I much prefer it to Sebastian.

I quite like Otis & I've never met one. It's much better than Sebastian.

One, he's 5 or 6.
I also know of Stan, Sid and Ned. All were unusual, don't know if they still are

I like Otis and Sebastian equally. Both great names.

I know one, less than a year old. Really like Otis. Not keen on Seb but do like Bash

Thanks everyone!!! I'm definitely warming to it a little more
