Nice. I like both of them a lot. I used to know a Pablo, if you need a third brother :)

Marco and Carlo

Though of course, not your Grandfather's name.

I think Otto is really fun. I love those obscure names that are easily accessible (ie easy to read and to spell). Plus I enjoy the o ending very much.

---

Carlo is neat too. It doesn't quite grab me the same way, but I don't mind it.

Benno
Tadeo

Awesome brothers!

I love Otto and would consider it for a future son.

I dislike most all "Carl" names and Carlo is no different

I was just thinking about Otto last night! I was playing around with clunky feminizations, like Ottoline, and I got to thinking how neat Otto is visually. I like the openness of the Os on each end with the spiky Ts in the middle. I like the sound of it, too. Otto isn't one of those names that I think could ever make a major comeback and be popular on a huge scale, but it's familiar and accessible, and I think it could be used without raising any eyebrows.

---

Carlo, on the other hand, I'm not crazy about. I've known so many Carloses, Carlo looks and sounds incomplete to me, like someone accidently dropped an S.

I absolutely adore Otto! I like Carlo, too, but definitely not as much.

I don't think Otto is going to have any kind of comeback anytime soon. Old-fashioned Germanic names don't seem to revive much.

---

Carlo is very handsome, and Carlos is even more so.

Otto would make a great middle name.
But, I don't really like the name Carlo.
It sounds like someone was trying to name their child Carlos, but forgot how to spell.

If you're going to have a son, then I'd say simpler names would be the best option.
