Otis and…

I quite like Reuben but not sure it’s the one.

Also like Milo, but along with Otis I’m worried it sounds like I have 2 dogs…!!

Any other ideas?

Milo and Otis are the perfect combination in my opinion and I don’t think it sounds like dogs name. I think people are just choosing really nice dogs names now so any names could be viewed that way 😂 Reuben has always been number 2 on my list, I absolutely love it! The only thing that put me off when our baby was born was the number of Reubens I know. I feel like Milo and Otis are a lot less common/popular.

My number one name of all time is Ari, I love the short names anyway and love how unusual it is!

Jax, also lovely

Ah yes there was a trend for a while of naming kids where they were conceived wasn’t there.

@SunshinePie
They do both lifts and escalators!

@SunshinePie if only we were that brave ;)

@SunshinePie - mean. Why would you come on here and post that?

I dunno, it just really annoys me when adults give their kids cruel names! Maybe I’m the only one who thinks of lifts immediately?! To me it’s the equivalent of someone naming their kid Kelloggs or similar!

@SunshinePie ok now you’re being an arsehole. I tried to make light of your insult but please go away.

Otis is not a "cruel" name by any stretch of the imagination.

Kimberley is a name often seen on hand towel dispensers in toilets, does that mean no one should be called Kimberly?

Also FWIW I've never seen a brand of lift/elevator called Otis...

Thanks for the useful comments.

To @SunshinePie who feels the need to continually taunt and make fun of me, kindly fuck off. I know Otis is a lift brand, it is also a name. You’ve made your point, I don’t know why you feel the need to continue.

What you won’t know, is that I had severe PND, was suicidal and under the care of psychiatric teams for months. One of the main issues I hd around bonding was naming my baby, so your insults go much deeper than a joke. I have asked you to stop but you feel the need to taunt me and my son here. Please get a life.

Oh I’m sorry if I’ve upset you! I read the original post as that you were thinking of names for twin boys! That they hadn’t been born yet. I didn’t realise that you had already named your kid that 😬 Sorry, my sincerely apologies 😣

Loving some of the suggestions you've been given OP and just to add, I think Otis is a lovely name and the only connection my mind ever makes is Otis Redding.

I also know 3 Otis' and they're all fab little boys, I'm sure yours is too.

I live the name Otis - it only reminds me of Otis Redding as well who is an absolute legend
