[Opinions] Re: Comment on the name I created myself
I don't understand the whole bit about "OTTE comes from Ex Tenebris Surgere, which means rise out of darkness. OTTE is an abstract expression of this motto, and O is like a point of light that shines on the T (Tenebris) in the back. The two t's represent the shadow after being illuminated, and the e represents a trail" but whatever floats your boat, man.Viotte is fine. Looks like it's a place name and surname already, so that works. It makes me think of like... a high-end European sportscar. Or watches or something.It does make me think of violette, but not violent.

OTTE actually expresses a picture, like a luminous object, such as the sun, a light bulb, etc. When the light hits another object, there will be a shadow, so there is a TTE.
Yeah, I don't understand that at all. Also how does Ex Tenebris Surgere = OTTE? It doesn't make sense.
It's not supposed to be letters, it's more like an emoji (like how OTL is a person facepalming on the floor, it doesn't stand for anything with the letters o, t, l). I don't quite get how the shadow works with TTE but I see how the O is a light source.(edit: I guess the T does stand for tenebris, so it's a light shining onto the word for "darkness" and casting a shadow. Still not sure on how the E works though)
