Jasper’s baby brother

44 replies

Hi, Jasper is having a baby brother but we want a name that suits and compliments his name too!

We like quirky & cool but still sturdy, classy names.

So far, I love Hudson. My partner loves Otis. I also love Otto as this is my Grandads name who passed away just a few months before we found out we were expecting. & another name I love is Teddy. Both Otto and Teddy would be potential middle names.

What is your preference between Hudson & Otis as Jaspers little brother?

Any other suggestions similar to ours? TIA x

I prefer Otis, but not sure this would be good with Otto as a middle name. Rather depends on your surname!

00100001 · 02/02/2021 12:37

Felix

All lovely names. I really like Otto!

JesusAteMyHamster · 02/02/2021 12:38

I know a Jasper whose younger brother is Oscar. I think they work well.

JesusAteMyHamster · 02/02/2021 12:40

And out of your list I like Otto and Otis.

Don't like Hudson at all, far too American.

Fivemoreminutes1 · 02/02/2021 12:57

Rudy, Rafferty, Sidney, Milo, Jago, Dexter, Xander, Albie or Ivan.

Otis is lovely and fits so well with Jasper. Two very classic and underused names.

I don't think Jasper and Hudson go together very well but Otis Hudson is quite a nice balance between old-school and modern.

Congratulations to your, your partner and Jasper by the way, how exciting for you all and what a lovely thing to look forward to!

I think Hudson and Jasper sound nice together! I prefer Otis though and would prob prefer Otis Hudson if that’s an option. I think Otis and Jasper sound great 💙

Magicbabywaves · 02/02/2021 13:35

Otto is perfect.

But also:

Felix
Rufus
Sebastian
Rafe
Oscar

July2021babygirl · 02/02/2021 13:37

Oscar and Jasper sound perfect together actually! I agree with this suggestion 💙

Quercus3 · 02/02/2021 13:45

I like Otis! The Jasper I know has a little brother Elliott

Hedwigtheowl · 02/02/2021 13:45

IMO Hudson is not a classy name.

Firebird83 · 02/02/2021 14:59

Otis. Agree that Hudson isn’t very classy.

Peachbubble · 02/02/2021 15:21

I prefer Otis. What about Rupert, Fraser, Angus, Hector?

ChocOrange1 · 02/02/2021 15:22

Definitely Otis. Hudson is a completely different style to Jasper.

Doggotired · 02/02/2021 15:24

I was coming on to say felix too!

KirstenBlest · 02/02/2021 15:33

I don't like Otis at all, so Hudson.

midsomermurderess · 02/02/2021 17:18

Edmund, Will.

Ithinkhedidit · 02/02/2021 17:20

Otis is a great name! As is Otto.

midsomermurderess · 02/02/2021 17:21

Owen.

17caterpillars1mouse · 02/02/2021 17:24

Otis is lovely. Hudson isn't lovely imo sorry

First name to come to mind was Jasper and Hamish - certainly a bit different but with a classic feel. I think this is why I don't like Hudson, it's seems very trendy / faddy rather than classic. Also love Otto (obviously not next to Otis), again not keen on Teddy as it seems faddy. I like Theodore though. Otis Theodore would be lovely

WellityWellityWellity · 02/02/2021 17:30

I like Otto and Otis, but think Hudson is dreadful, sorry.

I like Jasper too Smile

Chilldonaldchill · 02/02/2021 18:22

Jasper is gorgeous.
I don't think Hudson goes at all well - it has a really American down-market feel whereas Jasper is so cool and fresh.
I like Otis but prefer Otto.
Other names I think work well:
Felix
Hugo
Rufus
Matteo
Milo
Barnaby

Whatsyourflava · 02/02/2021 18:36

Jasper is gorgeous and I love all @Chilldonaldchill suggestions

I adore Otis and Otto

Great taste!
