Otto?

I know naming your baby is such a personal decision but I would really appreciate some opinions... My DH and I have been looking at baby names for some time, we both absolutely love the name Otto (although we have no German family connections;) for some reason it’s just a name we feel a strong affinity to. The middle name would be Denis after my father that passed away when I was young. I’ve already seen two mumsnet posts about this name (*back in 2012) where people have referenced the Simpsons etc. but I feel as it’s 6 years later and the name has grown in popularity, people’s opinions may have changed. Our baby’s full name would be Otto Denis Mason. Thoughts?

  1. Reminds me of Otto bins
  2. Reminds me of Otto from The Simpsons
  3. Americans/most Australians/Kiwis/loads of other people have lazy pronunciation and will pronounce it "Oddo", which is ugly

Otis is nicer.

I like it. It sounds like you both love it so you should definitely use it.
