User Comments about the name Otto
Comment left Jun 03, 2008: "I suppose Otto has negative associations as well as positive ones. On the one end it is the first name of Daniel Handler's little boy, and then there are the people representing the name's negative side - the fictional Herr Flick in the UK sitcom Allo Allo, Anne Frank's father who was an Otto (he died in 1980 aged 91 though his wife Edith and daughters Margot and Anne went into early graves - in the daughters' cases very early graves - in 1945), and, well, just any geeky U.S. professor from many years ago (probably the Fifties)."

Comment left May 19, 2008: "Is nothing like those terminally old-fashioned Elmer/Wilbur/Mortimer/Ethel/Beulah type names. I can kind of see a cute little boy with a name like Otto with either a twin brother or older brother or younger brother named Gus. I think Otto is a cool name for a little boy and so is Gus, but those other names I've just mentioned are still totally uncool - and even Harold, Arthur, Frank, Ernest, Edith, Mabel, Florence, Ida, and Myrtle are still usually considered senior citizens' names."

Comment left May 01, 2008: "American novelist Daniel Handler, author of 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events' under the nom de plume of Lemony Snicket, has an infant son named Otto, born in 2003. Because it's a palindrome name, I think it's a cool name and even more so than Oscar or Frank or Arthur (the first of these gaining in popularity again while the second and third are still usually dad-grandpa)."

Comment left Mar 07, 2008: "The first name of Herr Flick in the Eighties British sitcom Allo Allo, set in wartime France and Germany. He was the character who was always limping as well as pursuing L.Cpl. Helga Geerhart." (Report as inappropriate)
