Anyone know an Otis?

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!!

I know one, but it's very much on the rise. If your main criterion is that it's unusual, it's a gamble!

It's a bit insecty, like "mantis".
