I need some help with O names. Just a quick explaination, about a month ago I posted about giving my son the intials of W.O.L.F. My biggest problem in doing that is finding an O that fits. I like Owen, but it's taken by a friend. Oliver, eh. Oakley is ok, but it sounds hippy and reminds me too much of the glasses. Orsin/Orsen is nice, and it means bear cub, so it goes with the wild animal theme. I kinda like Oriris, but I have a feeling the mythology behind his name might raise a few eyebrows (the whole marrying his sister and how he conceived a child with her, etc). But, then again, from day to day, how many people would really know?

Any other suggestions for O names? I poked through babynames.com but none sounded all that thrilling. The first name will be William (no way that will be changed) and the second middle name might be Lucas. I'll worry about finding something permenant for the L when I solve the O problem :p

Thanks for any help!

Otis
Oswald
Orville
Orlando

Ahhh, another way to spell Orson XD Hmm, I don't know about the spelling, Orsen is what I'm used to seeing, Orson would probably make it easier to say, and Orsin looks like it means bear to me (not sure why, maybe because the family names for bears is "Ursidae". Which is really silly, but minds always work in their own way).

Otis reminds me of the dogs in your icon, pugs, from Milo and Otis. Loved the movie when I was young, but I will see a pug whenever I say Otis XD

Oswald, Lee Harvey Oswald. And the guy from Drew Carey's old show... I don't remember what it was called.

Orlando, Orlando Bloom.

But Orville doesn't make me think of anybody XDD Thank you for th suggestions, I'll have to roll them around my head a little more.

I know the spelling with the "o" because of Orson Welles, but even seeing it next to the "e" and the "i" spelling, I just prefer the way it looks.

What about Omri? Pronounced "ahm-ree", I assume.

Orville is a green ventriloquists duck very well known here in the UK as he had TV shows and produced records!!!
