Thoughts on our combo?

What do you think about [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]?

Any other middle name suggestions in the same style? We love [name_m]Otto[/name_m], but want to pair it with a more modern middle name.

Thanks!

I would prefer [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] [name_m]Otto[/name_m].

I love [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] - I’m currently trying to talk my husband into it, but he’s not on board. It is an older name (think [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] [name_m]Hammet[/name_m]), so here are some of my suggestions if you want something more modern:

[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Zane[/name_m] (bonus nickname: [name_m]Oz[/name_m])
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Maddox[/name_m]

I also like pairing it with something traditional, like [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u].

Thanks! We’re pretty set on using [name_m]Otto[/name_m] as a first name and I’m afraid with our last name (very [name_m]German[/name_m]) a traditional middle name won’t work. My husband’s taste leans more traditional, but he’s willing to be more adventureous with the middle name.

I like [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Zane[/name_m]. We had actually considered [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Dane[/name_u].

I like [name_m]Otto[/name_m]! It sounds kind of odd with [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], though. I do like the flow of [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Dane[/name_u].

6

I think it sounds nice and you accomplish exactly what you want.

7

I’ve listed a few mn’s with a [name_m]German[/name_m] background or I think would work with a [name_m]German[/name_m] last name…

[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Barrett[/name_u]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Moritz[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Nash[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Rhett[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Marcus[/name_m]

I love [name_m]Otto[/name_m]!

I like the idea with paring it with something traditional also.

[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] —> love
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Leon[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] --> love
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Lawerence[/name_m]

9

I love the name [name_u]Dane[/name_u] :slight_smile:
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Dane[/name_u] sounds a bit abrupt to me though.

[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Darien[/name_u]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]

10

[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] is nice but I don’t feel it has the best flow, though its more important to find the name you absolutely love.

I really like these combos
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Philip[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrik[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Burke[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Hans[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Ernest[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]

If you really love [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], I might suggest adding a 2nd middle to help balance it…[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m], sounds more grounded and handsome imo.

Thanks for the help! I’m not set on [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], I just like the feel of the name. I would prefer to stay away from very traditional combinations.

I do really like [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m].

[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] was a first choice of mine, but it creates a rather unfortunate initial set (OAF).

12

I love the name [name_m]Otto[/name_m]. I’m not sure about [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]… it’s okay. [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Dane[/name_u] is a good choice. I also like [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Dean[/name_u].

I love [name_m]Otto[/name_m], but I’m not huge on [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] or the flow of the combo. I definitely don’t get a modern feel from [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], I see it as very vintage. Which isn’t a bad thing to me, just doesn’t accomplish your goal. Also, when I hear it aloud, I think of an auto dash, ie the dashboard in you car.

I do quite like [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Zane[/name_m] and [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Dane[/name_u]. I also love the suggestion of [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m].
