I like it. I can think of several characters in movies with the name (and of course the wonderful
Otis Redding), like
Milo &
Otis and Because of Winn-Dixie, which were already mentioned. It was also the name of
Jason Ritter's character in
Happy Endings, which made me take notice most recently. It's one of those wonderful old-fashioned old-man names I
LOVE. I'd adore to see a sibset of brothers named
Gus,
Otis, &
Jed or somesuch. :b
ETA: I also really like
Otto, from which
Otis is derived. But there's the 'auto' and 'otter' associations, and particularly the Simpsons' character that all kind of put me off it a bit. :-/
