We are seriously considering the name [name_m]Otto[/name_m] after just finding out we’re having a boy! I really love it and my husband actually suggested it. I have two questions though that fellow berries can help with:
siblings are [name_u]Levi[/name_u], [name_f]Anya[/name_f], and [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]. Is [name_m]Otto[/name_m] too close to [name_f]Anya[/name_f] in sound or do they compliment each other? I can’t decide! I definitely prefer short/vowel heavy names.
in our friend circle we have an [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] nn. [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] and an Oleleanya nn. [name_m]Ole[/name_m] with a long ‘o’ and long ‘e’ sound. Is [name_m]Otto[/name_m], [name_u]Ollie[/name_u], and [name_m]Ole[/name_m] too much?? We don’t share names before the birth so I hesitate to get the other parents input. They’d probably say it was fine though. I just don’t know if it feels like a lot.
Otto is PERFECT in your sibset, plus I love it It’s cool, strong and interesting.
I love that they’d all have different vowel endings and short, energetic, vowel-rich names.
Anya and [name_m]Otto[/name_m] sound nothing alike to me, but I can see there might be a slight similarity in an American accent. Not close enough to be confusing, though — and that goes for [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] and [name_m]Ole[/name_m] too.
I’d be thrilled to see you use [name_m]Otto[/name_m]. Congratulations on your baby boy
I don’t think [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_f]Anya[/name_f] sound too alike at all! I love [name_m]Otto[/name_m] with the rest of your other children’s names!
As for [name_u]Ollie[/name_u], [name_m]Ole[/name_m], and [name_m]Otto[/name_m]. I think they’re all different enough that you’ll be fine Go with what your heart says! There’s no going wrong with [name_m]Otto[/name_m]
I don’t think [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_f]Anya[/name_f] are too similar! (I also love the names [name_u]Levi[/name_u] and [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]). I think [name_m]Otto[/name_m] is also fine with the other kids in the friend circle.
Thanks, that’s very encouraging! I think the ‘[name_m]Ah[/name_m]’ sound in [name_f]Anya[/name_f] and [name_m]Otto[/name_m] felt close to me (yep, American). But you’re right @katinka that the ending is different in each name and that helps a lot😊.
Otto is fabulous in that sibset! Not too close to [name_f]Anya[/name_f] at all. I am loving it!
I also think it’s fine to have [name_m]Otto[/name_m], [name_u]Ollie[/name_u], and [name_m]Ole[/name_m] in a friend circle. [name_m]Otto[/name_m] is quite distinct.
Otto goes so perfectly with your other childrens names!! It doesn’t seem too close to [name_f]Anya[/name_f] to me (I can see where you’re coming from though, in my accent the beginning sounds are the same, but the rest of the names are different enough to stand apart!)
I also don’t think it’s too close to [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] or [name_m]Ole[/name_m]! the ‘t’ sound makes it stand out from the other two!
I don’t think [name_m]Otto[/name_m] is too close to [name_f]Anya[/name_f], [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] or [name_m]Ole[/name_m] and it’s perfect with your set!
I agree that you’re overthinking this Other than the first syllable in [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_f]Anya[/name_f], they don’t share any similarities - same thing with [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]. [name_m]Otto[/name_m] sounds great with your other kiddos!
I think [name_m]Otto[/name_m]’s fine, even if I say [name_f]Anya[/name_f] with an American accent. [name_m]Otto[/name_m] is very different to [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] & [name_m]Ole[/name_m] imo, and if their parents (whichever came second) didn’t care then there’s no need for you to either.
It’s cool, strong and interesting.
Go with what your heart says! There’s no going wrong with [name_m]Otto[/name_m]
