I really hate. It's a bit of a comical name imo.

MissHenty · 02/11/2019 16:43

@winterplease Charlie is a lovely name. Are you looking for something slightly more unusual this time around or is Otto just a name you like?

winterplease · 02/11/2019 17:36

Not looking for anything particularly unusual, but just really struggling to find a boys name that we like. I love Joseph, Louis, Arthur and Alexander but we can't use those. My grandfather was German, and Otto has German heritage ( I think ) and so quite liked it for this reason.

I like it

Sorry but I really dislike Otto.

Your other “likes” brought Laurence to mind - any good?

winterplease · 02/11/2019 19:49

@LarkDescending Hadn't considered Lawrence- I think I like it!

I like Otto.

bridgetreilly · 02/11/2019 21:30

Yes, Otto is a German name and I think with German heritage it's a good choice. Quirky but easy to spell and pronounce and good for both a child and an adult.

Moominfan · 02/11/2019 21:30

I love it

Astronica · 02/11/2019 22:54

It's okay but I don't love it.

Lavenderblues · 03/11/2019 08:17

But Otto is a very uncool and old fashioned, even comical name in Germany!

Loveislandaddict · 03/11/2019 08:19

I like it.

IckleBear · 03/11/2019 09:13

Otto is cute!!

Pippilangstrumpfi · 03/11/2019 09:59

Otto is awful, sorry. The opposite of cute.

EleanorShellstrop100 · 03/11/2019 18:04

Love it!

MrsBertBibby · 03/11/2019 22:51

Nope.

DramaAlpaca · 04/11/2019 00:36

Otto has to be one of the most hideous names I've ever come across. Sorry.

I do like Laurence though.
