Re: Otto and Carlo
in reply to a message by Lily
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.
