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

I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about how they "flow" with your other names, that will only be of interest for a limited time before they make their own partnerships. For example "William and Harry" is now "William and Kate".

Choose them independently as a name you love for other reasons.
Flowing isn't the most important thing. Enjoy your choosing Smile

I wouldn’t worry about whether they go or not - they’ll have different social groups different lives & even if not I can’t see what difference it would make to anything

Wow so many great suggestions. I love Ivy, Cleo, Margot, Milo... the O sound at the end could be a winner

Does anyone remember a kids film in the 80s called Milo and Otis? I think it was about a cat and a dog who went on a journey...? misses the point of thread

And I thought the whole point of having babies was to call them whatever pleases you so if you like O names go for a third! Smile

Pheobe, Maud, Milo, Noah, Monty.

Imogene instantly sprang to mind. Still has that strong vowel presence without starting with an O.

Otis, Olive and Imogene / gene / genie / Imo.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 19/05/2019 20:13

Boys - Arlington sprang to mind but 3x 2-syllable names doesn’t sound good to my ear. But, they won’t be a threesome in most of their lives, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

BendydickCuminsnatch · 19/05/2019 20:13

Not Arlington!!!!! ARLO.

Proseccofuelled · 19/05/2019 20:14

Ivy & Cleo are fab - another you might like is Juno ?

I know you said no O theme but if you do like that sort of sound then perhaps:
Willow
Naomi
Indigo
Eloise
Leo
Hugo
Theo
Joel

I think you should embrace the O and go with
