Me and DH are in agreement that we don’t love any boy’s names. That’s as far as we’ve got really. The only ones we think we could use are below. Any thoughts on these or offerings for similar? Jude, Rudi, Cole and Miles ruled out by DH.

Otis
Marcus
Edwin
Remy
Eli/Elliot

Otis or Remy

daisypond · 28/11/2020 21:14

Marcus is my strong favourite.
Edwin is good.
Elliot I like.
Wouldn’t consider the others.
Guy?

Zofloratheexplora · 28/11/2020 21:16

Dexter
Orson
Raphael

Marcus is a nice uncommon classic.
Elliot (although a bit surnamey) has a nice sound.
Edwin is fine, although I prefer Edward personally.
Eli, I only like as a nn for Elias.
I don't like Otis or Remy, they sound too trendy for me, sorry.

Whatsyourflava · 28/11/2020 22:23

Otis and Eli are 2 of my favourite names ever

littlemisslozza · 28/11/2020 22:29

Elliot is my favourite from your list

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/11/2020 22:40

Elliott is gorgeous. However it’s one of those names that doesn’t lend itself to many nick names. I think Eli which I assume will be pronounced Ellie is too much of a teasing risk for a boy. If you are going to use it I think it needs to be the full name
Otis is nice.
It’s a pity you can’t get your DH on board with Jude.

I don’t like Edwin or Marcus.
Remy. Isn’t that something you take for heart burn.

Other suggestions.
Max
Arlo.
Finn
Toby
Hunter
Dexter
Rex
Wilbur
Jayden
Alex
Seth
Milo
Kian
Clark

RoseMartha · 28/11/2020 22:50

I like Marcus and Elliot

Or
Ethan
Finlay

MercyBodle · 29/11/2020 04:38

Marcus or Otis.

Babyevictionimminent · 29/11/2020 11:43

Wish there was something between Otis and Elliot. I like Milo but it just reminds me of the Tweenies too much

joystir59 · 29/11/2020 11:45

Otis is the only acceptable name on your list

joystir59 · 29/11/2020 11:46

Mark is so much stronger than Marcus imo

Pinkypie86 · 29/11/2020 11:48

Rueben
Zachary
Oliver
Otis is okay
Gabriel or Gabe

uggbooted · 29/11/2020 12:09

Ellis is between Elliot and Otis

One of my favourite names

spidermomma · 29/11/2020 12:11

Otis-Remi (smith) hahaha I love it

Babyevictionimminent · 29/11/2020 12:16

Hadn’t ever considered Ellis @uggbooted but I really like it

OP posts:
Ellmau · 29/11/2020 12:17

Elias?
Edmund?

I prefer Mark to Marcus.

TrixieHeliotrope · 30/11/2020 18:53

Otis, Edwin and Remy

PenguinBarnotBird · 30/11/2020 19:01

Love Marcus.
And Ellis Is nice too.

How about Nicholas, Marcel, Marvin, Owen, Killian, Kelvin, Rob?

Skyla2005 · 30/11/2020 19:05

Otto is a compromise between the two. If I had a boy he was going to be Fraser

GarlicMushroom · 30/11/2020 19:07

Elliot!

CloudyVanilla · 30/11/2020 19:11

I like Remy a lot.

Don't like Otis at all I'm afraid!

I love Ellis. Also like Edwin a lot.

My additional suggestions - Hugo, Max, Will, Ezra

My boys are Felix and Theodore Halo

rottiemum88 · 30/11/2020 19:12
