baby due thursday - elodie or ottilie?

[ukfirestorm]

Baby is due thursday, what do people like - elodie, or ottilie? Alice is middle name. One set of in laws prefer elodie, the others ottilie. HELP!
Also nicknames advice please......

[derektheladyhamster]

I like Ottilie, probably with Tilly as a nn, but I'm not a nn type of person, more of a shortening person, so my Ottilie would probably end up being Ottie

Elodie- ottillie sounds too like utterly in a northern accent.

[ilooklikegrotbagstoday]

Whichever you chose, both are beautiful!

[MrsMagpieCovetsShinyThings]

I love Elodie. I'd prob turn it into Ely for a nn.

[ilooklikegrotbagstoday]

OOOOOOOOOO chOOse!

[farmersdaughter]

Ottilie is just divine!

Ottilie Alice is smashing!

adds to list

[AThingInYourLife]

Elodie

[ReluctantBeing]

Hahahahahahaha! Really?

[Aethelfleda]

It depends upon which you would be happy yelling across a crowded playground in years to come. They are both pretty but very much "of the moment' names which in years to come will date them as being 2010 decades babies. This may not matter to you, but either are highly likely to be misspelled as they grow up in all sorts of ways....

[TenthMuse]

Both are lovely! Would go for Ottilie, as Elodie seems very much on the up at the moment (seems to be the new Amelie here in North London).

Really like Ottilie Alice.

[ukfirestorm]

@reluctant being, yes really x

[ukfirestorm]

This point in preganancy is terrifying. feels like a time bomb!

[JennyEnglishTwo]

Elodie.

Ottilie is very frilly and I don't like the OTT sound. I think a lot of people would muRRRRRRRder it. I can imagine it sounding almost nice said with a soft accent but the vast majority of people would hammer it.

Elodie is safer, and stronger somehow. I also like Eluned (welsh). It seems your taste.

[ukfirestorm]

Eluned is interesting, not heard that one

[ZolaBuddleia]

Prefer Elodie, but would hate it to be shortened to Ellie.

[EarlGreyTeabag]

Elodie here too.

[NowPlayingZone]

Elodie, but they're both nice.

[Letticetheslug]

Elodie, definitely. Although the moment you see her , you may well change your mind...

[ChasingStaplers]

Elodie is lovely.

Ottilie is just meh.

[Foosyerdoos]

Prefer Elodie, I also like Eloise.

[AmandinePoulain]

I've got an Elodie

I had no idea it was 'up and coming', I picked it because I liked it when I saw it in the French baby names book (I've got a French dh).

(I've also got an Amelie, so you could say that yes, it is the new Amelie )

[Foosyerdoos]

I wanted to call Dd Amandine Amandine but was vetoed by Dh.

[ukfirestorm]

amandine also nice

[AmandinePoulain]

I never knew my MN nn would get me a baby named after me

Still, my nn is far nicer than my actual name at least
