Yeah...because there's nobody with the name Otis.

 
Secret Agent X23 2009-07-04 09:30:04 AM  
I dunno... Whenever I hear the name Otis, I always think of Otis the town drunk on "The Andy Griffith Show."

That's just me, though.

yeah - nobody ever named anyone otis before.

I think the full "Otis Spunkmeyer Tobias Maguire" version would've been more poetic and humorous

/mmmmmmmmmm.....son of spiderman cookies

Otisburg? Otisburg? OTISBURG?!

 
DarkLancelot [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 11:24:00 AM  
It sounds like a family name, not one of the crazy Hollywood names. I'm not just saying this because my Great-Grandfather was named Otis either.

 
TheMadChaosopher 2009-07-04 11:26:07 AM  
if he had any balls he would've named the kid "Adolf Maguire"

 
MysticSavage 2009-07-04 11:31:24 AM  
Otis? So this guy's career choices are henchman for Lex Luthor and elevator repair. Good one there, Spidey.

 
hamiltonjdavid [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 11:32:08 AM  
At least it's an actual honest to goodness first name. As for the middle name, Tobias, that's what his crazy parents named him. imdb.com (new window)

You can't really get much more normal than that. Subby sucks.

 
Mentat [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 11:32:28 AM  
There are a few Otis' in my family. It's a bit old fashioned, but it's not exactly Applebutter Buttsecks Paltrow.

 
HenryFnord [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 11:40:53 AM  
The name came to him while he was sitting on the dock of the bay.

 
Fano 2009-07-04 11:43:30 AM  
You never go OTM

 
PicoDelSol [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 11:45:49 AM  
That's not a bad name at all.

 
Byn [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 11:57:58 AM  
Tobias is a fairly popular name in Eastern Canada.

Thanks.

Said prison consultant said: "He was incredibly disappointed. He knew he was going to spend the rest of his life in prison. I don't think that was ever an issue," Hoelter told The Times. "But it's patently unfair to cast him as a symbol of all evil."

Really. Stealing that many billions of dollars. Ruining that many lives.

I think Madoff would do Lex Luthor proud.

 
SwingAwayMarell 2009-07-04 12:05:32 PM  
Subby makes a really good point about celebrities naming their children with ridiculous monikers. Nah, just kidding, there's nothing wrong with the name Otis.

/annoying headline meme is annoying
//worse than protip:

I came here completely confident I would be first with this. Well done Mr. Luthor!

 
DarthBrooks [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 12:24:14 PM  
Lex, my mother lives in Hackensack!

/came for the Otis-love. Satisfied.

/Do you know why the number "200" is so vitally descriptive to both you and me? It's your weight and my I.Q.

Please. He will make a fine Analrapist one day.

"Daughter Ruby Sweetheart is their first child born in November of 2006."

Sweetheart? Really? /sigh

A century or less ago, this WOULD be considered a completely normal name. And really, it's time to start bringing back those old fashioned names.

 
Funbags 2009-07-04 12:52:29 PM  
Is a good thing none of these celebrity kids will ever attend a public school, because they would get the stuffing beat out of them 12-13 times a day.

Yup, people forget all those 100 year old people named Otis and Esther and Bernice were babies at one point.

I always think of Otis Spunkmeyer cookies.

/well aware that I sound fat

 
clusterfrak 2009-07-04 01:43:13 PM  
At these celebrity kids schools do they pick on the kids with the normal sounding names.

Yeah Otis what a silly name

I wish otis would shut up and just let me kill zombies.

The origin of "Otis" means "Son of Otto"

Wasn't that a nemisis in one of the Spiderman films? Did his SO bang his co-star??

 
Dwight_Yeast 2009-07-04 05:29:34 PM  
I thought he was gay.

 
George_Spelvin 2009-07-04 06:27:10 PM  
I got no problem with the names. They're real names not made up crap, nor are they intentional misspellings of real names.

"Otys"

My wife loves the birth announcements and her favourite so far is "D'Ream".

 
Gyrfalcon 2009-07-04 08:10:09 PM  
Compared with most names in Hollywood these days, subby Otis is about as normal as "John."

He must have thought of that name while sitting in the maternity ward's waiting room, smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee.

It wasn't the pronunciation that worried me.
