I was going to put Orson on my list but had a few negative comments and apparently it sounds like awesome too much

Otis is super cute really like it

Otto!

@SadSack39 that’s a shame about the negative comments. I love that it means bear cub, but just worried that the actual name Orson doesn’t sound that great.

Thanks for the replies and Otis support

Otis

Orson is the name I wish I'd have called dc2. I live that it sounds like awesome and I like the nn sonny.

Orson makes me think of Orson Hodge from Desperate Housewives. I like Otis

PixieDust1986 · 27/07/2020 14:39

Otis

I’m not keen on any, really. Otto maybe.

Otis

LOVE Otis and Otto - 2 of my favourites
Not met anyone with either name but a friend of a friend has a baby Otis and calls him Oaty. Wish I had an Otis!!
Orson is nice but too similar to awesome for me and my kids use that word a lot as it's ok tv all the time- maybe a good middle name!

Otto

Otis seems like quite an overwhelming winner and I think it’s DH’s favourite out of Otto and Otis

Otis by a mile, it's much nicer than the others.

Not too keen on Orson, written down my brain always reads it as arson. My vote would be Otto, love that name :)

Robs20 · 27/07/2020 19:45

I have a baby Otis (and call him Oaty....@Whatsyourflava I wonder if I’m your friend of a friend!!). I love Otis and Otto, but Otis seems to be becoming v popular so bear that in mind...

pinkpinecone · 27/07/2020 19:52

Love Otis and Otto

MikeUniformMike · 27/07/2020 20:22

Orson but it makes me think of arson. I don't like Otis or Otto at all.
