It would be an alternative pronunciation as well, surely? And that moves it too far from Otto to be meaningful at all.
Why would you want an alternative for Otto? You like it, or you don't. There's no good reason to treat it like a lump of Play-doh. Multiple spellings for made-up names (and we can all think of several) are one thing; but getting gratuitously kre8iv with a name that has a distinguished pedigree right back to the Middle Ages seems disrespectful.
That said, I would only use Otto for an Old English sheepdog or similar animal - the kind where you only know which end is the front when it moves forward! Otto and Anna. Good reversible names for those dogs.
