Re: Which Name
Cassian, definitely. Otto makes me think of either an old man who plays checkers in the park or a big guy who likes to enter yodeling competitions.

It's funny because I don't hate the checkers or yodeling image haha. My husband and I are absolutely nerds �

Honestly I don't hate those associations either! I actually mostly associate Otto with this big mustachioed absolute sweetheart of an old man who ran the general store/deli in my town when I was a little kid. He sold stuff like homemade pickled eggs and really good fudge ripple ice cream and always called me Shrimp Basket (I always love weirdly specific nicknames). So the name Otto gives me the warm and fuzzies, but I just can't imagine it on a little kid because it will always make me think of an old man. And also pickled eggs.
