Comments for the name Otso

Comments for OTSO:

A very old, revering (slightly petting) name for "bear".

-- Vodrilus  2/20/2005

This name has become very popular for some strange reason, and I can only imagine how weird it's going to be when all these little boys named Otso are actually adults. It sounds cute on little boys, I guess, but not on men.

Otso was a euphemism for "karhu" (the most common name for a bear nowadays), used alongside words like mesikämmen, kontio and nalle. It was feared that the animal would be summoned if its proper name was used.
