Luca, Otto and Sam are the three names we've narrowed our list down to and I wanted to get people's general thoughts on the names please? Like, what do you think of when you hear them?
I'd say Luca is my favourite because it is slightly unusual without being too unusual.
Which leads me onto Otto... is it too unusual?! Whilst I appreciate it won't be everyone's cup of tea, is it acceptable enough not to be weird?
I'm less keen on Samuel than Sam, but feel like we should stick with the full name rather than a shortened name. Especially because our surname is only one syllable, so it could sound quite blunt/abrupt.
Thanks 😊

Honestly, I'd find Luca an odd choice for someone with no Italian heritage. Not that I'd mention that in real life!
Otto is nice.
Samuel, known as Sam? Great name. Classic but not overused.
I've known and taught a few Sams, and they've all been somewhere on the scale from likeable to fantastic, so that probably makes me biased 😁
