Otis

Well, Marley sounds like a floor tile and Otis is a make of lift. So for me that leaves Milo.

Flymetothestars · 13/12/2019 11:01

Otis and Milo are both such gorgeous names I can’t pick.
Don’t really like Marley.

Marley makes me think of a dog because of the film of that name, but I love Otis. Maybe it's my being older but I think of Otis Redding rather than the lift makers LOL! Milo isn't bad, but Otis is my favourite of the three.

Hmmm.. I really dislike Marley.

So either between Otis and Milo.

Isn't Milo a malted milk powder?

I love Marley and Milo. It’s not very popular on MN.

I wouldn’t choose them for my kids but I do genuinely love those names. We called our cat Marley as we didn’t use it.

I think defo go for one of those. Not keen on Otis. Congrats!

I choose Milo, with Otis in second. Not a fan of Marley.

Lavenderblues · 13/12/2019 13:38

Milo is a chocolate drink.

I like Marley and Otis.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/12/2019 13:45

Otis

lovelyjubilly · 13/12/2019 13:47

Not Marley. The other two are fab though.

Winkywoop · 13/12/2019 13:48

Otis ! Great name.

Milo is too popular and I think doesn't suit a grown man.

I don't like Marley- sounds like a surname to me

I saw the title of the thread in the 'Active' feed before I read that it was in 'Baby Names'...and honestly? I thought the thread was going to be about a new puppy 🤷‍♀️. It was only when I clicked on it to comment that I saw it was a baby name thread..😳

So with that in mind...neither. They all remind me of dog names (because I know so many Marley and Milo dogs...loads!!). Never met an Otis but still...sounds like a puppy name to me 🤦‍♀️. Sorry.

Aquilla · 13/12/2019 13:55

I was scrolling down and thought this was a new puppy thread. And I say this as an aunty to a Milo.

Winkywoop · 13/12/2019 13:56

Also, how about Curtis?

sometimesalways · 13/12/2019 13:57

Marlow?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 13/12/2019 14:00

Wasn’t Milo and Otis a film about a cat and dog? And Marley was the dog in Marley and Me.

TatianaLarina · 13/12/2019 14:11

Milo is more of a classic. Otis and Marley are more faddy.

Ellmau · 13/12/2019 14:21

Milo, definitely.

marcopront · 13/12/2019 14:42

I know someone who has used two of those and considered the other one.

LemonPrism · 13/12/2019 16:05

Marley is a dogs name.

I like Milo

Letthemysterybe · 13/12/2019 16:07

Otis is cute. Milo is ok. Marley is baf

Changedname81 · 13/12/2019 17:23

Otis 😀

Peacefrog23 · 13/12/2019 17:26

I like otis best, then milo x

behindlocknumbernine · 13/12/2019 17:26

Otis. Love it!

I know a lovely girl called Marley and a Labrador called Milo.
