If I like Otis...

[edgeware]

I like the name Otis but am seeing it pop up a lot and worry it might become very popular. (Do you know many babies called Otis?)

I like strong two syllable names without a Y or ‘ey’. That sounds easy but we are not getting ANYWHERE.

I love Otis it was our pick for #2 who was a girl.
I know one Otis in NZ Brother Elroy.
Use it 😍.

@Adelais ooh is Eben pronounced Ebben or Ee-ben? Either way I think you may have given me a name for my extremely scant boys name list... so thanks 😂

@edgeware I know of one little Otis and my cat is called Otis ☺️ I love it, it’s classic and contemporary at the same time and doesn’t seem overused although it may be one of those that rockets in popularity, but there’s always some unpredictability that way. I would use it .

I don't know any Otis' at all. I've seen it on cbeebies baby club once, does that count?

Eli ?

@Edenember I think it’s usually pronounced Eh-ban like Evan with a B but some people pronounce it like Ee-ban. I like it either way.

To add I also like Fergus, Jethro and Orson if that helps 😊.

I absolutely love it! I would use it for my next baby but my friend has twin boys - one is called Otis and the other has the same name as my son... so she'd hate me :) Her son is the only Otis I've met, I think even if it ever becomes mainstream it will always be a lovely cool name.

Elroy mentioned above. Now that is a cool name! That's a proper name.
That could be your runner-up name if you don't go with Otis, OP.

As mentioned by a PP, Fergus is cute too!
