I looked in the commentaries and on imdb but never saw anything mentioning why the axe should be Otis.

AC: How did you come up with the idea to put the name "Otis" on the axe? That's such a disturbing touch.
BP: There were two reasons for that, actually, the first being that it was really a character in the film, you know, [the serial killer] meets it in the barn with the light from the heavens shining on it, and I really wanted to anthropomorphize it. The other reason was that, when, at the climax, this certain character reaches for it, I wanted the audience to immediately realize that this was the same axe. It's kind of hard to talk about this without giving things away, but that's why. Otis is the holy weapon that's passed down in the movie.
AC: A family heirloom ...
BP: [laughing] A home companion, if you will.

Paxton decided to call the axe Otis becaue he wanted it to be recognizable as Dad's axe when Matthew wields it at the end of the movie. He wanted it to be like a character in the movie.
Says it himself on the commentary track.
