In 2025, 444 babies in England and Wales were named Otto. In the US, 612 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Otto was most common in 1880, when it went to 0.23% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
