Our answers crossed. Yes, I struggled with what looks like an 'A' in the margin until noticed the distinctly different 'A' for Alcide and elsewhere on the page. As for 'Omer,' a very good point. This raises the possibility that the priest should have sloped the 'e' accent to è instead of é, grave instead of acute. Pronounced in French, 'Omer' sounds like the words mère and père. But the priest was very careful with the è in père in the same record. So now, a tentative vote for Omer?. I would defer this for viewing other records for the person later in life. The marginal notations on the page appear to be written with a different pen, maybe at a different time, in a more hurried fashion. As for Linnie's second email, a quick scan does not show OMIS elsewhere. I doubt there was concern about middle names in those days.
