Boy names... help!

[iloveburmese3]

I started a thread a while ago asking about the name Balthazar 🥴let's just say feedback was somewhat...brutal... but that's ok! I'm here for it!

So.. latest ideas below and would love anyone's help/ order of preference.

Rocco
Louis
Otto
Balthazar (I know this is not a fav on here!)

Thank you!

In order of preference:

Otto
Louis

Rocco

Balthazar (really don't like, sorry!)

I like Rocco. Or Rocky?
I thought quite seriously about Balthazar too when I was pregnant,,,, but I think it might have been the hormones

My suggestion is, Jericho!

I only like Louis

I also only like Louis.

Louis

Otto/Rocco very low down

Balthazer doesn’t feature. Sorry. It’s awful 😳

I like Rocco (and I quite like Balthazar).

Louis Balthazar go well together.

I love Balthazar!

I also quite like Balthazar.

I really dislike Otto as it reminds me of Otto von Biamarck and it sounds so harsh. Very Germanic!

Rocco sounds Italian and Louis French (the latter will often get pronounced Lou-is outside of France)

All nice

How do u pronounce Balthazar ? I'm looking at it as Balt-haz-arrr is that right?
Never heard of it. If you want something really out there then that's your choice. Me personally don't like it sorry 😬
I like Louis off your list

@justcouldntthinkofausername Balthazar was one of the three wise men in the bible.
its a strong no from me on that one.
the others are ok but you will get Lou-ie, Low-is and Lew-is for Louis.

I like Otto

Rocco and Balthazar are ok. A bit out there but that ‘in’ now.

Louis I really hate, find it such a drippy name

Otto
rocco
louis
balthazaar

my order!

Thank you all so much! I know... Balthazar not easy... will have to be a middle name although I think it's super chic and interesting. I live quite a strange life so feel it could have fit it nicely 😂

I really like Rocco from everyone's comments... whoever said Louis is a bit drippy I've been feeling the same about this name for a while but only admitting it now!

Am I alone when I find deciding on a name absolutely awful and the least fun part of expecting a baby? I find the responsibility quite daunting - it's a big deal!

Thank you everyone for your kind input xxx

I like Baltazhar but nicknames might be a bit odd

Louis is the only one I'd consider.

I think that Louis is much nicer than your other choices.

I like Louis (though prefer Lewis) and Otto's okay

Other two are hard no's from me.

I like Rocco

I understand appeal of Balthazar it's such a sleek sounding name, but I'm not fan of it
I don't mind Otto, but when it comes to Louis I prefer Louise for a girl and Lewis for a boy much more.

Well personally I’d go for Balthazar😁, or Bartholemew and Barnabas are nice too

Otto makes me think of Nazis
Rocco I think is too Hello Magasine / silly
Louis is a bit wet and a bit overused

Laurence nn Laurie
Ivo
Rufus

might be others

Louis - but dislike Louie, a bit popular
Balthazar (I know this is not a fav on here!)

Rocco and Otto both dreadful

So when I say Louis I'm pronouncing it Louie... there is no S sound in it at all. We live South of France so not a problem everyone would pronounce it this way..

Louis is usually pronounced Louie,@iloveburmese3 but you'll get some who insist that it should be said as Lewis . The Louie spelling is popular in the UK .

Balthazar would be Bal-ta-zar?

To avoid the Lou-is pronunciation more parents are spelling it Louie in the UK now

I like Louis the best especially if you live in France.

Don't like Otto, Balthazar or Rocco sorry. I feel like Balthazar is a Disney villain? Sounds like an evil villain to me anyway.

How about Otis instead of Otto? Or Rocco as a nickname for something.
