I love, but interested in others opinions.

If you're not keen, what do you like that has a similar vibe.

I actually really loathe it.

It's not really popular it's 411th so still relatively rare.

I love it. Have done for years. DH said no though as it reminded him of Attila and the guns :(

X post with terf thanks!

I never know how to pronounce it Blush I would guess ot-illie but haven't met any irl to confirm

TerfwithaNerf · 16/06/2017 06:41

Fine in French, Oh-til-ee. Sounds soft and pretty.

But it sounds like Otter-ly in most UK accents which I can't bear.

Awful.

BuzzKillington · 16/06/2017 06:37

Love it! Quite popular though, so that would put me off a bit.

Blossomandsixx · 16/06/2017 06:33

Love! My oh also vetod it!

ScarletSienna · 16/06/2017 06:30

I love it! I've only ever known one child called it yet it has a familiar feel. DH vetoed it.

Not keen but then I'm a teacher of the deaf and it sounds to me like something ear related! I guess most people won't make that connection Grin

ChainingDaisy · 16/06/2017 06:28

I really loved ottilie, but DH wouldn't let me have it. Nor my other favourites Flora or Sylvie. We settled on penelope in the end, though I would have rathered persephone.
