Otis, Reid or Hugo

[MrsM29]

Need help!

We are due a little boy very soon and have whittled the name down to three:

Otis
Reid
Hugo

We have a girl called Lyra atm so like the more unique names, what do you prefer?

Lyra is on a steep upward trend, so won't be unique. The same goes for Hugo and Otis. Reid would be more unusuall but will be misspelt as Reed or Read

Of the three I only like Hugo

Lyra and Reid just merge into a mass of R's when you say it outloud. Reid and Lyra is even worse!
Hugo is the best of those 3 IMO.

I love Hugo. Lyra is also a great name!

Hugo or Otis not keen on Reid

Hugo is the only one I like

I like Hugo.

Hugo has my vote. Otis I also like, but Hugo is the winner of three.

Hugo and Lyra go well together.

As an aside, why is it OK on MN to say "Posh and poncey" or "Upper class twit" and generally Posh-Bash but calling someone a chav causes mayhem!?

@SweetNcrunchy
Because if you are posh you are in a very privileged position and shouldn't be insulting those less privileged than you.
"Check your privilege"
Apparently
(I offer no views on this either way)

Personally I wouldn’t call anyone ‘posh and poncy’ or an ‘upper class twit’ because I think talking about people that way based on class is just gross.

However, there is a huge difference between a poster calling the name Hugo ‘posh/poncy’ and the absolute derision over simple names like Jackson, with posters piling on to nastily call it tacky/chavvy/cheap/naughty boy name etc etc etc. There’s a big difference between punching up and punching down.

I like Hugo, and you’ve just reminded me of an extremely handsome man who I sat next to in my seminar group at uni, in fact I sat between two very handsome men in that seminar group known respectively as Fit Dave and Sexy Hugo

Otis
Hugo
Reid

... in order of preference.

Reid is too surnamey and reminds me of Beryl Reid which may not be the vibe you were looking for

I don't think there's much difference. I've seen threads where posters show absolute derision over 'poncy' names!

I only like Otis. Lovely name.

We have a four year old Hugo. I do love the name but there are a lot of them around unfortunately, we often meet namesakes at soft plays and baby groups. As long as that doesn't bother you I think it's a decent solid name!

Otis or Hugo.

Reid is a surname.

Hugo.

Too many Otis's and Hugo's where I live and I really really don't like Reid. Are you set on another four-letter name to go with Lyra?

Otis or Reid.

I'd like to add that Lyra is a beautiful name! Great choice.

Otis is nice and goes well with Lyra

Hugo is quite nice too, though makes me think of a cuddly toy for some reason.

Reid is awful - makes me think of an American lawyer from a 1980s TV show.
