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

I really don't like Marley.
Otis and Milo are lovely as is Arthur.

Dislike Marley, I would probably go with Milo or Arthur. I know a teenage Arthur who is usually Artie, he is very happy with his name.

Milo or Arthur.
The only one I really dislike is Marley.

Otis

Otis definitely

Well you've asked for opinions OP so here are my honest ones....

Otis - I know a few Otises and it screams try hard middle class parent.

Marley - sorry see above.

Milo - I quite like this. Hot chocolate in Australia

Freddie - a nickname. Will he be a Frederick?

Arthur - posh sounding.

All of these names are quite popular.
I know at last 2 of all of them.

Jake

I love Otis

I love Otis @Princess0222 !! Great choice and works SO well with Aria I think

Have you got a new shortlist now or are you set on Otis ❤️

MrsNoMopp · 11/11/2019 14:35

Freddie is nice, preferably as a nickname for Frederick, Wilfred or Alfred. Arthur is too similar to Aria. Otis and Milo are OK. Not so keen on Marley.
