Tabitha
Ottilie
Olivia
Lara

Very close between 1&2, more of a gulf to 3&4, which I don't like so much (or think are very popular).

One of my pets is Tabitha, so I love that one.
Friend's daughter is Lara, lovely name.
Olivia is a very respectable name, excellent.

Ottilie? You have me there. I don't think I've ever heard it before. I can't see anything wrong with it, except if everyone else is as uninformed as me, she might have to spell it out a million times.

Ottilie - lovely and a bit different. Go for it!

Tabitha = Mrs Tabithat Twitchit (Beatrix Potter cat) to me, far too many Olivia's about, Lara = unhappiness (think Dr Zhivago).

Olivia, Lara, Tabitha in that order. Not a fan of Ottilie at all.

Like Lara.

Olivia is very popular but inoffensive.

Not keen on Tabatha or Ottilie (biased by knowing a really annoying Ottilie in RL).

Ottilie. I never heard of it and didn't like it when my friend called her dd2 this, but I love it now.

I'd drop Olivia only as they are all nice but that one is too popular.

I'll vote Lara.

I like Olivia & Lara best.

Ottilie is OK.

Really don't like Tabitha.

I only like Lara. Tabitha sounds witchy to me. Never heard of Ottilie but can't say I like it. Don't like Olivia.

Tabitha or Lara. Olivia is so popular, and I'm not keen on Ottilie.

I love them all, apart from Olivia which seems a little dull to me.

Love Lara, been a favourite of mine since I saw Dr Zhivago as a child!

Olivia is nice enough.

Tabitha and Ottilie I'm afraid I really don't warm to at all, Tabitha makes me think of a cats name (nice for cats!) and Ottilie just doesn't appeal.

Favourite by far is Lara.

Olivia is fine but super popular.

Not keen on either Tabitha or Ottilie.
