Otto or Tibo?

[bettybeetroot]

We have chosen a name for a girl and are thinking of Otto or Tibo for a boy....

neither are my cup of tea, but Otto is slightly better ...

Ditto.

How would you pronounce Tibo? Like tie-bow, or tea-bow?

Otto is actually quite nice, I think it's a grower.

Neither,though Otto is a slight improvement on Tibo.

I don't like either name, but Otto is better than Tibo

How about Thimo?

Otto is better, but I really don't like either. Sorry.

I love the name Otto - my ds's best friend at school is called Otto and I think it's cool!!

If Tibo is pronounced tea-bow I'd worry that people would think I'd named him after a discount store

Love Otto

Tibo pronounced T-bo - i prefer this name. Not sure about Otto so much but dh likes it!

bonsoiranna - i like thimo - never heard that before but would he get nicknamed tim i wonder (not keen on tim)...

neither

everlong - if we choose otto we will use oscar as the middle name!

The Thimo I know certainly doesn't get nicknamed Tim. It's pronounced Tee-Mo

It can also be spelt Timo - I teach one.

DS2 has a friend whose name's Timo (nickname as his real name is Sébastien). He also has a friend called Thibaut which is (pretty much) pronounced Tibo. FWIW I much prefer Timo (not sure why though!). Otto reminds me of "A Fish Called Wanda".

I actually prefer the french spelling thibault but thought the spelling tibo might be 'easier'

Otto much nicer
Tibo sounds like brand of TV

Tibo is too much like Tivo in my book. Otto is better.

I don't think that Thibault respelt as Tibo "works" at all.

Tibo makes it look like you can't spell Thibault.

it isn't repelt(!) dh worked with a guy with the spelling tibo - i think he was belgian. tibo is also a german name...

sorry respelt!

Otto is better, don't like the sp Tibo
