Brother for Otto

General Name Discussion
1

On the hunt for a great sibling name for [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Raymond[/name_m].

A few of the boys names that I love are taken by friends already, and I feel like there’s not much to choose from… Generally I like Scando/ Germanic names.

Names I like a lot but are a no-go for different reasons:

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] (taken)
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] (too popular)
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] (taken)
[name_u]Max[/name_u] (too popular)

Other names I like (but that aren’t ‘the one’) for context:

[name_m]Rafael[/name_m]
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m]
[name_m]Monty[/name_m]
[name_m]Orlando[/name_m]
[name_m]Johan[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Basil[/name_m]
[name_m]Alberto[/name_m]

Any flashes of brilliance much appreciated — there must be some fresh names I haven’t seen! Thanks heaps

I love a lot of your names so hopefully some of my favourites might appeal to you. Such a shame you can’t use [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] or [name_m]Felix[/name_m] with [name_m]Otto[/name_m], same with [name_u]Max[/name_u] or [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] (but I agree, they’re too popular). [name_m]How[/name_m] about:

[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_u]Jem[/name_u]
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Elio[/name_m]
[name_m]Leopold[/name_m]
[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]
[name_u]Rex[/name_u]
[name_m]Xander[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Angus[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m]
[name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m]
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m]
Miro
[name_u]Claude[/name_u]
[name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_m]Winston[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucien[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_m]Orson[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
[name_m]Axel[/name_m]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_m]Apollo[/name_m]

[name_m]Monty[/name_m], [name_m]Orlando[/name_m], [name_m]Matteo[/name_m], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] and [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] would also be wonderful with [name_m]Otto[/name_m].

Anyway, I hope this helps!

I watch a youtuber with a son called [name_m]Otto[/name_m]. His brothers are called [name_u]Evan[/name_u], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. Since you have ruled out [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Evan[/name_u] (and forms, like [name_m]Evander[/name_m]) would be nice, but I also really like [name_m]Rufus[/name_m].

Some suggestions:
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Amos[/name_m]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucien[/name_m]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]

Thank you so much, all – heaps of great ideas in here!

I should say, we’re in Melbourne Australia, so my perception of popularity is based on that community :slight_smile:

It’s funny, I love the German and Danish/Scando names, but I worry how badly Australians will mangle the (admittedly sometimes difficult) pronunciation. Even Jonas (‘Yo-nas’, not ‘Joe-nas’) could be challenging!

I’ll be adding these to my list:

Atlas
Rafferty
August
Dashiell
Remy
Soren (with the ø or not I wonder?)
Florian
Bruno (too much with Otto?)
Rudy
Karl
COnrad

Plenty of other fab ideas in there, but some off limits because of friends / family / pets etc.
