I’ve posted here before whilst pregnant with my shortlist, and now that baby is here and 2 weeks old I still haven’t made a decision 🙈
From my list we’ve sort of whittled it down to Otis or Caspar, I also like Rudy but we’re both not sure, argh!

Brothers are Rafe and Milo.

We have an appt to register him on Thursday.

Thanks everyone, pretty mixed!
I’ve been thinking Otis the whole way along, Caspar I love the Scandi vibe but I don’t know if it’s a bit wet sounding for an adult?
Talk about overthink it, argh!

100% Otis!! Goes perfectly with your other boys names.

Caspar is Lovely OP

Love Casper with Rafe and Milo but if you wanted 4 letter names for them all, I prefer Otis to Rudy.

Caspar all the way!

Milo and Otis were a pair of dogs in a kids show years ago, something to think about...

Ack - sorry - one was a cat. It was a pug and a cat.

Otis

Otis always makes me think of the aardvark but no one else seems to have made that connection.
I prefer Caspar personally (although I think I would spell it Casper) but I think Otis goes better with your boys’ names. I wouldn’t want two with the same initial, so I’d avoid Rudy.
