Hi! Thanks for reading my thread! I’m really struggling to decide on name for baby boy who is due very soon! I’ve narrowed it down to the following names: Otis, Marley, Milo, Freddie and Arthur. Please could you share your opinions/ favourites from my list and possibly other suggestions? I’m looking for a cute and cheeky sounding name! Thankyou xx

Love Marley

LucileDuplessis · 08/11/2019 16:44

My favourite of those is Arthur Smile

Spied · 08/11/2019 16:45

I'm not keen on any. Sorry.
Will DS be happy with his cute and cheeky name in years to come? Hope so...or I'd follow a different brief.

Arthur or Freddie. Don't like the others.

Scarlett555 · 08/11/2019 16:46

I like Milo from your list

Otis I love. Marley I associate more as a girls name but I still love it

MrsFoxPlus4Again · 08/11/2019 16:59

Marley, I don’t know many the others are fairly popular imo apart from Otis I just don’t love it

Cbeebiesrehab · 08/11/2019 17:01

Otis or Milo.

nocluewhattodoo · 08/11/2019 17:11

I think they are all lovely, I'd avoid Arthur though as it's getting very popular.

Leopardprintboots · 08/11/2019 17:11

Otis milo or Arthur

Great choices!!

melonballer1234 · 08/11/2019 17:13

Freddie!

MrsBertBibby · 08/11/2019 17:58

Frederick is a great name, use that, nn Freddie / Fred.

Chocolatecake12 · 08/11/2019 18:00

Otis is the best from your list. Cute and cheeky sounding for a youngster but also cool enough for a teenager and transfers into adulthood.

MrsBertBibby · 08/11/2019 18:03

Do you have reason to believe your baby will be cute and cheeky, btw? They tend to come with their own personalities.

DarkLikeVader · 08/11/2019 18:04

Not Freddie. I know several small ones and they are all horrors. Otis is lovely as in Arthur!

elliollie · 08/11/2019 18:29

Our friend has an Arthur, known as Artie

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 08/11/2019 18:39

I’d rule out Arthur. There’s nothing cutesy about it. It’s a very serious name.

ilovemykids5 · 08/11/2019 18:45

Can't imagine Arthur as a teenagers name.
Milo sounds like a cats name.
Love Freddie.

Mamabear88 · 08/11/2019 18:47

Definitely Otis! I love that, very unusual too. Don't do Arthur, they're left, right and centre in all the baby classes I go too. Marley sounds feminine to me. Milo reminds me of Myeloma / Myelofibrosis due to personal reasons...

EleanorShellstrop100 · 08/11/2019 18:50

Otis, Milo and Arthur are all great!

FizzyGreenWater · 08/11/2019 19:30

Otis or Milo.

I don't like the nn Art for Arthur.

Don't like Marley

Princessreceptionist00 · 08/11/2019 22:22
