Girls names - final 3

[SleeplessinEastSussex]

I had a beautiful DD on Monday and we are still deciding on a name fir her. Current shortlist is;

Ottlile
Olive
Florence

Any thoughts would be appreciated

[MrsWilkinsonAthome]

Congratulations and they are all lovely names.

I would rank them as follows.

Ottlile
Florence
Olive

I would worry a bit about teasing later on with Olive though.

[Joeybee]

Ottille is lovely, unique...maybe a bit too cutesy.
Olive is so lovely - strong, vintage, unusual but not unheard of, that's my favourite on your list.
Florence is lovely, but I feel it's becoming very popular, for me that's off putting, but it may not bother you. Florrie is a lovely nickname.

[Whoops75]

My favorite from your list is Olive

Congratulations

[soundsystem]

Ottillie is my favourite, but they're all lovely.

[MsTSwift]

All lovely though Florence most popular so would put me off. I would choose Otillie. We know an olive no teasing

[mintich]

Why would Olive result in teasing?

[Namaste6]

Congratulations x. Ottlile is my favourite. Beautiful name.

[Sunflowers211]

Congratulations @SleeplessinEastSussex 💕
I love Florence out of the 3 💕

[Fifteenthnamechange]

Ottilie for me

[Zarara]

Olive for me, slightly more unusual than the other two. Other two are quite popular where I live.

[99bb]

Olive
Florence
Ottilie

[RoseMartha]

Florence

[ifigoup]

People (including you!) have misspelled Ottilie in four different ways just in this thread!

I’d go for Florence.

[HeronLanyon]

Ottilie of the three BUT make sure whoever enters birth certificate details knows the spelling !

[PictureWall]

Olive is gorgeous.

I like Florence but none of the shortenings. The three I know are Flo (reminds me of periods), Flossie (too cutesy) and Flora (margarine).

Ottillie is very “of the moment” and I think it will date. I also hear it as Otter-ly!

[userabcname]

I like Olive best but I like all three.

[Icantthinkofanynewnames]

Olive is my favorite! I love it!

[LarkDescending]

Florence for me - really beautiful, and I like Flory/Florrie for short.

[knittedgoldfish]

Olive

[notso]

Olive
Florence
Ottilie.

[Peanutbuttericecream]

I don’t like any of them, sorry.

[daisypond]

Olive. A bit quirky and cool.
Florence. Victorian classic, possibly heading out of style but nice

Ottilie- horrid. Otterly utterly.

[diddlediddle]

All nice names.

But:

Florence is quite popular, I feel like it's overdone. When I hear people choose Florence I think, they're trying to be vintage and original but they're not. Sorry...

Ottilie. Very popular in some pockets (posh ones) but overall not that well known. Probably get misspelled? I don't personally love girls names ending in ie as I find it a bit twee.

Olive - love this. I think it's chic classic and beautiful without being common.

[DottieLottie1]

As a pop has already mentioned the spelling of Ottilie is questionable. If you can't get it right OP I'd avoid...

[Equimum]

Florence
Ottilie
Olive.

I’m not a fan of Olive, but love the others.
