I've already got a name that puts me quite comfortably in the 1% of names used in my country. It's not as cool to have a uncommon name as you think. It's easy to get picked on, you never can buy those souvenir mugs or keyrings with 'your name' and it gets misspelled.
I mean I've written a book where my name is on the cover and one review managed to misspell it...
Otoh. I once met someone on holiday in Ireland that said 'i one met a kid with that name and it was in Croatia, about ten years ago'.
That kid was me. If I had a more common name we'd never have known.
Any relation to the name "Otto"?
None at all, though I do know someone by that name
