Alice or Ottilie but please do not spell Alice with a y.

[MrsGsnow18]

Alice is my favourite and I agree with above poster about spelling.

[mouldycheesefan]

They are all ok, I agree with pp don't spell it alys

[Loyly]

Cecilia is my favourite from your list.

[Ylvamoon]

Matilda, I don't like the other names.

[Coey2016]

I like Alice and Cecilia rather than Alys or Cecily.

Not so keen on Ottilie.

[SVJAA]

Alys is the Welsh spelling of Alice, I like it. I think people would drop the t's in Ottilie which would drive me nuts.

[Helloooooitsme]

I only like Matilda.

[Allalonenow]

Lovely names.
Cecily is my favourite.

I prefer the Alice spelling.
Matilda is my least favourite from your list, though I think Tilda as a nn is sweet.

[Nospringflower]

Like Alice then Ottilie then Matilda. Don't like Cecelia.

[Baseballcupcakes]

Hate Ottilie. Love the others. I know a baby Cecelia called Cece which is sweet.

[isby]

Cecily is gorgeous

[mintyourownbusiness]

What do people dislike about Alys spelt in that way?

[SVJAA]

It's MN, people probably think it's made up instead of an actual spelling of a real name.

[SVJAA]

But I like it.

[BellMcEnd]

Alice is a lovely name. I like the Alys spelling a lot but I wonder if you'd be setting yourself (and your DD) up for a life of spelling it / having it misspelled? (Unless you're in Wales, maybe)

Really don't like Ottilie at all

[Orangebird69]

Cecilia - such a gorgeous name!

[Agadooo]

I only like matilda

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Ottilie is awful. Like a mix or Natalie and otter gone wrong.
I just don't like Matilda. No reason its just not my thing
Alice is okay. There are worse names, but. Its a bit boring and the unusual spelling doesn't make any more exciting.
I can't fault Cecila. Although I do prefer Cecily.

[SorenaJ]

OP, Alys is perfectly fine. It's just MN being allergic to anything non-English.

I like all of your names, prefer Cecilia to Cecily. My favourite is Matilda.

[Pluto30]

Like Matilda.

Alice is fine, but a bit boring. Alys is setting your child up for a lifetime of misspellings and mispronunciations if you're not in Wales.

Ottillie is awful.

[CarrotCakeMuffins]

I like Cecily best. And I know an Alys (and I'm far from Wales, but she does have a welsh parent)

[Pipilangstrumpf]

I like Cecily and Ottilie.

Matilda is a little boring and overused imo.

[DramaAlpaca]

I love Alice & Alys. I can't see why anybody would object to Alys. As others have said it's the Welsh version of Alice & I think it's a lovely spelling.

Cecily, Cecilia & Matilda are lovely, I particularly like Cecily.

Ottilie looks pretty, but sounds much better in a French accent.

[ChocoChou]

I like Alys and I'm strangely drawn to Ottilie... cute lil Otti or cute lil Tilly, great nn
