Love it! Great name for a baby through to an old man.

Love it.

WandaDoff · 26/03/2012 04:18

My first thought was Otis the Aardvark.

TerraNotSoFirma · 26/03/2012 01:18

I love it. Great name.

Devora · 26/03/2012 01:12

Nice Smile

MerryMarigold · 26/03/2012 01:10

I guess it's a Marmite name then. I love it, but there's no way dh would. If your dp would love it, then you definitely should. Not enough Otises in the world!

I just realised why I think that by the way. I'm on active topics and there's a thread about ulcerative colitis. ^^

GreenEyedMunster · 25/03/2012 23:26

It sounds like a disease, sorry.
As in I have ulcerated Otis of the liver..... I am sorry, that sounds awful but that's my opinion

my friend has a spaniel called otis

Hate it, absolutely hate it. Can't even give a reason.

JasperJohns · 25/03/2012 22:51

Love it - was on my list!

Tortington · 25/03/2012 22:51

its the name of an elevator /escalator

DoubleGlazing · 25/03/2012 22:50

Yes, Otis Redding. I expect most people will say "as in Ferry?" or "as in Redding?" when first hearing the name - are you prepared for that? Nice enough name though.

MerryMarigold · 25/03/2012 22:29

I just think Otis Redding

I did think of Otis Ferry, but doubt he'll be very well known in the future. Hope not, anyway!

Ears?

Otis Ferry - bloodsports fanatic.
Also, sounds like something to do with ears.

MerryMarigold · 25/03/2012 22:23

Love it too...so, so cool.

I think I love it too, but will let it settle for a few days, sometimes I go off things!
