Olive is my favorite! I love it!

userabcname · 11/09/2019 07:04

I like Olive best but I like all three.

PictureWall · 11/09/2019 06:59

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!

HeronLanyon · 11/09/2019 06:57

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

ifigoup · 11/09/2019 06:47

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

I’d go for Florence.

RoseMartha · 11/09/2019 06:43

Florence

99bb · 11/09/2019 06:42

Olive
Florence
Ottilie

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

Fifteenthnamechange · 11/09/2019 06:39

Ottilie for me Thanks

Sunflowers211 · 11/09/2019 06:37

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

Namaste6 · 11/09/2019 06:21

Congratulations x. Ottlile is my favourite. Beautiful name.

mintich · 11/09/2019 06:18

Why would Olive result in teasing?

MsTSwift · 11/09/2019 06:09

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

soundsystem · 11/09/2019 06:03

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

Whoops75 · 11/09/2019 05:48

My favorite from your list is Olive

Congratulations

Joeybee · 11/09/2019 05:47

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.

MrsWilkinsonAthome · 11/09/2019 05:38

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.
