Hello,
Absolutely stuck for a girls name to go with our daughter Ottilie, if it is a boy then Magnus is already decided.
All ideas welcomed!

Not especially going for Nordic. I like lesser used names but with a history to them. Open to all origins really.

Your names make me think of a 1920/30s type vibe: Anthony Powell/Agatha Christie/ Mazo de laRoche etc
I love your existing children’s names btw

Are you wanting Nordic?

Emmeline sounds perfect with your other names. You're definitely other thinking the redneck thing!

The little Ottilie I know has a sister called Georgia.

ohhh and Margot. I also love Emmeline but can't get over the idea that it sounds a bit like a redneck saying 'emily'.
Have I overthought this?

Wonderful suggestions, I should have added our shortlist....
Arabella
Beatrix
Georgina/Georgiana (too plain in comparison?)
Tallulah (family name but DH hates it)
Cecily (but put off by the meaning 'blind')

Love Delilah but we have a pet named Delilah already. Also love Flora but do worry people will think we have a margarine obsession (ottilie butterly and flora?).
