What goes with Otis and Olive

45 replies

I have two kids and pregnant with no3 and need name advice! Name changed as outing.

My DS5 is Otis and DD3 is Olive. Both O names, which is unintentional. We just loved the names individually. But what do I do with third? I don’t want to do another O name (I know that’s generally seen on here as twee) but at the same time I need something that “goes” with the first two.

Help me with ideas, Mumsnet! x

Don't know why but I feel like a one syllable name goes better as the third one following the other two. The rhythm seems to flow more!

Eve
Rose
Pearl
Bea
Beth
Joy
June
Belle

Maybe that sort of thing? Congrats by the way and your first two have GORGEOUS names I love them both!

Thanks for all suggestions. Noticed a theme of names beginning with vowels. Do you think they flow best?

@dogsandboysmeansmud I actually really like both those names but worried about having three Os Confused

I think something longer would work well to break it up a little. I'm trying to think of a longer name that's also "unfussy" and still has that "old school cool" vibe.

Perhaps something with an O at the end? Jago, Cosmo, Juno?

If baby is a boy (only did girls names in my last post oops) then Ted would be my fave...

Otis, Olive and Ted

Or

Art

Seth
Jack
Ben
Ned

Oh and one more girl name I thought would sound lovely: Otis, Olive and Nell - so cute!

Milo and Juno! Still a strong O sound but being at the end avoids it being too ‘themey’ (I know that’s not a real word)
