I think of the stoner bus driver from The Simpsons! I don't know if it will get popular, but I would be surprised if it did. While Milo sounds quite cute and young, I think Otto sounds old fashioned - I imagine an old German man!

I also really dislike the way it sounds in an American accent (well, many American accents, I suppose, maybe not all of them) like "aah-do" rather than "OT-o"

Otto was my cat's name when I was a teenager. I wish I hadn't chosen it because now if I suggest Otto for a child, my husband will surely say "After your cat?". I really like the name Otto but I don't think it will get above #500 anytime soon, maybe in thirty years...

I don't see this name ever cracking into the top 500 honestly. I think it would be a cute name for a cat or a small dog.

Henry Otto James is quite handsome. I don't see Otto getting super popular though, but I could be wrong.

I like Otto. I'm not sure if it will actually become trendy or not. Otto entered the top 1,000 in the U.S. last year. It ranked #928. I don't see it getting extremely popular, but it wouldn't surprise me if it gets more popular than it currently is.

Henry Otto James is a handsome combo, and it has a great flow.

Old-school-cool is pretty in, so I think it could happen. My friend just had a baby last week and his name is Tobias Otto. I think Otto is honouring, though, since their other kids have honouring middle names.

I don't mind Otto. It's one of those names I have a really hard time envisioning on a baby, but once you know one, that usually works itself out. I had that problem with Solomon too. But now I think it's pretty sweet.

Henry Otto James flows very well. Personally, I'd probably pair Otto with some a little less old than Henry. It kinda makes the combo feel like it could just as easily be on the obituaries page as on the births - no offense. :)
