Otto the Car
So.. few people know that I named my car, and fewer still might know what the name of it is. I decided I'd make a little post dedicated to him. So, let's get down to it. Why is 'Otto' the perfect name for my car?
1) First off, the obvious... the word is a homonym of 'Auto'. Easy enough.
2) Well, my car is specifically a Civic, and I thought the use of another palindrome was appropriate. Not many names could be spelled the same forward and backward.
3) This one's a stretch, but hear me out. If you look at the letters in the name, it almost looks like a car. Especially if you use uppercase on only the T's, like oTTo . Don't the o's look like wheels, and the 'TT' makes the perfect body.
So yeah, I'm weird, but I like adding double or triple meanings to the strange things I do in life. Say 'hi' to Otto if you see him...
