Brother for Monty

24 replies

Jellybutterpeanuttime · 16/05/2020 18:53

Looking for inspiration for baby no 2 due in July! Have a 5 yo called Monty and so far on the list we have:

Rufus
Felix
Jasper
Otis

I’m struggling to think of any other names we love as much as we do Monty’s name. Are Monty and Felix together too much on the dog and cat front!?

Rufus or Felix.

SoftBlocks · 16/05/2020 18:57

I have never met a cat called Felix or a dog called Rex.

Iamblossom · 16/05/2020 19:01

I know a Monty who's brother is Hardy, love both

Jellybutterpeanuttime · 16/05/2020 19:04

To be fair neither have I, I guess the cat/Felix connection just comes down to the cat food for me! And everyone seems to know a dog called Monty but the name suits him down to the ground so we love it!

My grandparents' had a cat named Felix, he was black and white like the cartoon so for me it will always be a cat name (sorry)

Rufus - That was the name of the naked mole rat from the Kim Possible cartoon so not a good connection if you ask me.

I do love Rex though, only time I've heard it was on Desperate Housewives but I liked how it flowed with his surname.

Jasper - Like it
Otis - I always think it says otitis, I get ear infections frequently so I see this word a lot

You terrible

Whatsyourflava · 17/05/2020 22:33

Love love love:

Felix
Jasper
Otis

3 of my favourite names. Not so keen on Rufus. I rarely say this but it's a dog name in my head and there's too many R names around.

How about:

Marley
Christopher nn Kit
Wilf(red)
Barnaby
Peter
Nathan/Nathaniel - Nate
Sidney Nn Sid
Laurence nn Laurie
Vincent nn Vinnie
Curtis
Eli
Ellis
Miles / Milo
Seth
Cole
Eric
Casper
Rudy/Rudi
Dexter
Blake
Angus
Dominic
Idris
Percy
Chester
Caleb
Austin
Griff
Tristan
Bodhi
Otto

@Doris19 it’s so difficult isn’t it! Looks like we have a similar style, have added a couple of those to my list :)

Not keen on Otis, but the other three are all fab.

I love Felix, Rufus and Jasper.
Rufus is our top boy name right now but the others have both been on our list (one is alliterative with our second son so taken it out and the other is a friends sons name)
