the name Otis

[memphis83]

this is one of our names we are considering was wondering what people think???

I LOVE it! It's in my top three

I like it

Sorry it makes me think of otitis media (ear infection)

Lovely

Ha ha!

I love this but my DH had reservation that it sounded like a dogs name. Or the Aardvark from childrens tele...

Might push for it again if we have DC #2 though

I used to love this, but I have gone right off it - not helped by the fact it is the make of every lift in every hospital in the land!
we caught an Otis lift on the way up to labour ward and that put a nail in the Otis coffin for me .
But, to be honest, I am very surprised it is not much more popular than it is with all the Dexters and Quentins.

tummytickler dexter is my other name in my top names list, the nearer i get to edd the more confused i get!!!

Cool name.

Johnny Otis, Otis Redding - great name.

Me BigTime No Like.
Sounds like an uneducated Country Hick Name at best.
Quenton is cute, but Otis, ugh.

Makes me think of Vic and Bob's puppets, I'm afraid.

Lifts.
Otitis.

Used to love it, now it reminds me of ear infections I'm afraid. When I was pg, we also considered Cassius if we had a boy. We ended up having a girl

I love it

I love Otis - think it is cool.

I also like Quentin and Dexter, though .

quentin is a no no our surname begins with a q

I like it.

Love Otis - seriously beautiful baby at my baby massage class was called Otis; I assumed Otis Redding but his mother admitted she was inspired by the name on the lift to the labour ward as they'd not managed to agree on a boy's name up until then!

Can't believe anyone would chose Quentin over Otis - pre-ten-shus.

LIFTS.

I hate the sound too OAT -TISSSS

I quite like Otis. There are so many names which have some other connotation, that I wouldn't worry about the lift connection. People will think of your ds rather than any lift manufacturer when they hear Otis.

I do love Quentin - it is high on our list actually.

I'm afraid it does make me think of lifts. I lived in a flat once that had an Otis lift.

But if it's Otis or Dexter, I'd have to say Otis.

Are there really so many Otis lifts in the world? memphis83, do you or any of your friends/family live near an Otis lift?

lidofabiro, cant say ive ever seen an otis lift they arent used at our hospital and i dont know anyone who lives in a flat so i doublt they have them in there houses!
