As long as the surname isn't Bottilie.

squoosh Grin I get 'Ottilie Bottilie' when I see that name. In a thick brummie accent. Sorry OP.

I've got one. It's a family name. She's never been called Ottilie Bottilie, but she does get called Oatibix. Hmm

I like it. I wouldn't use it unless I had some kind of French connection though, personally.

It sounds too much like utterly

I love the way it looks written down, and I want to love it, I just wish there wasn't the word 'utterly' and it would be great.

Same problem with Aurelie. I love it - lovely sound, pretty written down, BUT it sounds like 'orally'. Bloody English getting in the way :(

The utterly thing is my sticking point too - husband has german heritage and it is a german name originally I believe so not to worried about not having the French connection although I am Irish and might be driven mad by the family not being able to pronounce the child's name ..... so much to think about ... thanks for all the feedback! Lots to mull!

We've got friends wh have named their twin girls Ettilie and Elidie. Gorgeous, gorgeous names, but a bit of a mouthful with two of them! Separately I LOVE these names!
