Boys Name Help

(Name changed for this)
I’m pregnant with our first baby and DH and I have been trying to shortlist some names ahead of finding out the sex in a couple of weeks. We have agreed on Margot for a girl but cannot settle on a boys name (mainly because I don’t seem to like any 😩)
An added complication is that DH is British but I am Portuguese, so we need a name that would work in both languages....
DH likes:
Cole
Caleb
Otto*
Brooks
Raphael*
Rocco

*these are the ones I dislike the least.
Can you please suggest some other names that we (or I!) may possibly like?

Atticus

I like Caleb and Otto from your list

Sebastian?

babynamehelp1 · 29/12/2019 22:53

Love Sebastian but we can’t use it
Enzo is lovely but I’m not sure about using it because we are not Italian. Same with Otto and not having any links with Germany - not sure if I’m overthinking this though?

You're overthinking it! I know a very English Enzo and a very English Otto Crown Smile

Ezra is an alternative

David ?

Otto is cute!

FluffyEggsontoast · 29/12/2019 23:41

I love Otto!! If you don’t mind Otto how about Hugo or Milo or Arlo?

If DH likes Brooks how about Blake or Bodhi?

If you don’t mind Raphael - how about Rafferty (nickname Raffy) or Ralph?

Other suggestions with good nicknames:

Christopher nn Kit
Wilf(red)
Barnaby
Nathan/Nathaniel - Nate
Rafferty / Raffy
Sidney

Other ideas:

Eli
Ellis
Miles
Seth
Otis
Eric
Casper
Rudy/Rudi
Dexter
Angus
Dominic
Idris
Percy

Slightly more out- there:

River

Ps. Love your girls name- Margot is gorgeous

Ellecrawford · 29/12/2019 23:45

Rocco is one of my favourite names 💙

Phoebebuffay13 · 29/12/2019 23:59

Raphael is lovely and works in both English and Portuguese, just like Gabriel, Luis/Lewis, Mathew/Mateus, Andre, George. I'm Portuguese too, and I've got an Oliver!

MopsRUs · 30/12/2019 01:17

Samuel
Tristan
Luca
Max
Leon
Victor
Oscar
Benjamin
Nicholas
Idris
Ezra

Thank you for all the suggestions - I’ll go through them with DH today to see if we can find one we both like Crown Smile

I've got a Margot, currently expecting a boy and and thinking of Barnaby or Raphael so following this thread for other suggestions!

I love Casper and Jasper but can't use those unfortunately. Also like Raife...

Inigo? Ivo?

Raphael and Otto are lovely.
