Otis, Frank or Ziggy baby coming in 3 days

[Pennylane87]

Hi all, I posted on here a week ago about the names Rudy and Sidney, we were all set for Rudy, but long story short, DH has totally gone off Rudy ! I could tell he wasn't totally onboard with it.

Anyway he's suggested Otis ( I think this has come after watching sex education on Netflix) frank and ziggy which were names we originally had in the hat.

Baby coming in 3 days and I'm losing the will to live with coming up with a suitable boys name.

Any comments and help appreciated thanx X

Ziggy! It’s a great name

Otis is brilliant

Otis is lovely

We went with Otis in that end, he's lovely and it suits him really well. Thank you for all your help in my quest to find a suitable boys name ! X

Aww many congratulations!

Congratulations. welcome to the world Otis, may all your ships roll in.

Congratulations @Pennylane87, and welcome Otis 😍

Ziggy is awful, sorry!

I love Otis but it ended up being a toss up between that and Dexter and he was named Dexter as it goes better with middle name and surname. So - we got a beautiful dog and named him Otis and 10years later I still love it. Dex is 16 and loves his babe too so it's cool. Good luck and enjoy your baby. Otis, definitely Otis (Bryan Ferry has a son called Otis and I think Bryan is great!)

Just read your follow up post - huge congratulations and welcome to the world Otis x

Name not babe

Love all those names except for river and Rudy which are not my cup of tea

Thank you, I think we made a good choice ! X

An update if anyone is interested......
So after a few weeks of getting to know him it turns out he's more of a Rudy Otis rather than an Otis Rudy.🤣
Rudy being the name we had decided on until DH got cold feet a couple of days before he was due to arrive !

If anyone is second guessing the name they picked and it's still early days, don't be afraid to switch it! I had a week of thinking I wasn't bonding with him and he just felt more like Rudy to me, since we have changed it I feel much happier and DH loves it too.

Funny how things work out sometimes x

@Pennylane87, I'm sure he's beautiful whatever his name !
So long as you both love it and it suits him, it's the right choice. Hope you're all doing OK.

Really hate Frank, plus it's been inexplicably popular and will probably start sounding a bit naff and overdone at some point. I'd go for Otis. Prefer Rufus to Rudy. What about Bruno?

Oh! Missed update

Thanks so much for update - gorgeous names

Lovely update

Thank you all X

Ziggy is awful. Frank is the name of an old man. Otis - isn’t that sitting on the dock of the bay? Probably the best of a pretty bad bunch, sorry OP.

I love Otis

I’ve always really liked the name Frank. Otis is a bit of the moment for me with Sex Education. I like Rudy and don’t mind Ziggy (perhaps with a more average second name). There used to be a girl called Ziggy at my college and it was fine - gave a bit of character. I like Frank the best though.

Oh sorry - just saw the update. I really like Rudy.

Out of interest @Pennylane87 did the release of the official baby name statistics sway you to use Otis as a middle name rather than first (given its jump in popularity)

Rudy Otis is lovely by the way
