We're due our third boy in 4 weeks time and of course I have a girls name but am still going around and around with the boys list Grin

Looking for opinions on the below please! I'm not sure on any of them really but I feel like I've heard everything that exists...
We have a Rafe and a Milo.

Otis
Scout
Rudy
Caspar - OH's fave from my longer list

Thanks in advance!

Caspar or Otis. I quite like Scout too but I don’t think I’d want to be called that as a grown man.

Calixtine · 04/04/2019 14:29

What’s your girl name?

AverageMan · 04/04/2019 14:32

I'd go with Casper out of that bunch. The others are a bit too American sounding.

Eatmycheese · 04/04/2019 14:33

I think I like Caspar with your two other sons’ names.

Thank you. I've been swinging slightly towards Otis and my husband likes Caspar but I'm just not sure.
Girl's name is Clementine - I LOVE it. Always always the way!

Otis!

Narya · 04/04/2019 14:36

Caspar, then Otis. Rudy is a bit similar to Rafe, and Scout is a girls name.

Clementine is lovely btw!

dustarr73 · 04/04/2019 14:38

I love Rudy then Otis.

Calixtine · 04/04/2019 14:41

Ooh I love Clementine! I know what you mean, I had a solid girl name but no boy name last time and was panicking towards the end (luckily had a girl though).

How about Caspian/Cassian or Corin?

dustarr73 · 04/04/2019 14:41

Or Felix,goes with your other names

Calixtine · 04/04/2019 14:41

Or Orson?

Icklepup · 04/04/2019 16:31

Otis!

Tiramisu1 · 04/04/2019 16:32

If you love Clementine for a girl, how about Clement for a boy?

Thanks all, so difficult isn't it, I mean THREE boys names is a challenge!
I don't like Clement for a boy, for me it has a completely different feel.

I like shortish names, not hugely popular, a bit cool, not too much of a mouthful...
Any other suggestions welcome!

I think both Otis and Caspar 'match' your other names.
Out if the two I'd go Caspar.

BlueMerchant · 04/04/2019 17:14

Isiah?

Try finding 5 Grin

TheVanguardSix · 04/04/2019 17:19

How about Axel or Atticus (we know an Atti for Atticus)?

TheVanguardSix · 04/04/2019 17:19

I like Otis on your list the best.

TheVanguardSix · 04/04/2019 17:20

dustarr73

You get all the medals. 5 boys is no mean feat! Grin

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 04/04/2019 17:26

Ooh 3 princes and 5 for you Dustarr, Magnificent.

I love Otis.
There is a lovely film called Milo and Otis. Milo is a cat and Otis is a dog.

Ikeameatballs · 04/04/2019 17:28

Otis is my favourite of those you’ve listed.

Dustarr hats off to you! What are your boys called? And is your house as muddy as mine Grin

Otis would be lovely with the names you have chosen for your older sons. Short, unusual but neat.

MikeUniformMike · 04/04/2019 17:53

Caspar. I like Rudy too.
I don't like Otis, and Scout is a girl in To Kill a Mockingbird.
