I love the sound of [name_m]Othello[/name_m]. It’s soft and musical, but still recognizably male. I don’t know that I’d have the courage to use it, but I think it’s wearable. It’s certainly significantly more tame than a lot of names I’ve seen tossed around on here. haha You could easily [name_m]Otto[/name_m] or [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] for nicknames, too.
I like [name_m]Otto[/name_m] for sure, but I think [name_m]Othello[/name_m] might be seen as pretentious - I don’t particularly think it is, but it might seem a little bit that way to some people. Although I think I read somewhere that [name_m]Othello[/name_m] is actually a variation of [name_m]Otto[/name_m], so maybe it would make a nice nickname/petname.
I agree with this (although the equivalents of [name_m]Thor[/name_m] are normal names in some cultures I would note - not English-speaking ones though). [name_m]Othello[/name_m] is a one-person (or rather one-character) name. It’s just way too much for me, although yes from a purely phonetic point of view it is nice. If you want to find people who would name their kids [name_m]Othello[/name_m] (or [name_m]Thor[/name_m] or [name_m]Perseus[/name_m]), though, you’ve definitely come to the right place
