[name_u]Baby[/name_u] number three, on routeeeee!!! We just found out yesterday so we are only 4 weeks along and yet to know gender, but naturally I’m getting giddy and already thinking about names.
We have two daughters already. Their names are [name_f]Leni[/name_f] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f] and Ru [name_f]Ines[/name_f]. Ru is very unheard of and we get a lot of questions about it. It’s not short for anything- it is her full, legal name. We were going to name her [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] and have Ru be her nickname but then found ourselves persistently wanting everyone to address her as just Ru… so we wound up making it official. We figured why name her something else if we don’t actually want people to call her that. It also worked out nicely because my fav name was [name_u]Lou[/name_u] but I was adamant to not have two L names, knowing we’d have a third and I wasn’t committed to a theme. So Ru is basically [name_u]Lou[/name_u] but with an R 
We love it and think it’s very unique, and we call her Ruru. If she grows up hating her name or feeling like it will hinder her professionally for some silly reason, she can go by her middle name, Ines).
If we have a boy this time, which do you like best for our fam?

I think [name_m]Otto[/name_m] matches your girls’ style very well. It’s a little offbeat, quirky and fun, but still recognisable.
I like [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] too, but it leans a little more mainstream than your girls. Not a reason not to use it, of course, it’s up to you - it’s a great name regardless.
I’m less keen on [name_m]Xever[/name_m] or Afie. [name_m]Xever[/name_m] just because I’ve never encountered it before, and I think it could get mispronounced. And Afie looks like a misspelling of [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] to me (in fact, I read it first as [name_u]Alfie[/name_u], until I saw the pronunciation).

Afie is cool too, but I can imagine people misreading it for [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] if that bothers you
