I came to say the same thing. Unless the surname is also one syllable in which case, don't.

Show quote history

I don’t think so - the Rose/Grace/May thing has become such a cliche.. Pearl/Hope/Fern seem to be the new variants on this.

I think something 2 syllable, but quite soft and slow to anchor the delicate Ottilie

Ottilie Mabel is really nice

Or

Ottilie Frances
Ottilie Katharine
Ottilie Charlotte
Ottilie Constance
Ottilie Margaret / Margot
Ottilie Beatrix
Ottilie Sarah

I think consonants sound best for contrast, but also quite like Ottilie Edith

Ottilie Grace
Ottilie Skye
Ottilie Faith
Ottilie Rose
Ottilie Maeve
Ottilie Brooke

I don't have a middle name and have never missed not having one! I don't see the point of them...

What's the point of a middle name?

I agree I'm confused at how 'important' it is and then people go for a very generic nothingy name! In this case Mabel is a family name so for me there is a lovely reason for having one

I like Ottilie Olive. And I think having the signature OO Lastname is pretty cool.

postcardpuffin · 27/10/2022 21:57

Ottilie Clover is gorgeous!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 27/10/2022 21:49

Ottilie Matilda (Tilly Tilly)
Ottilie Clemintine (Too T heavy and sounds awkward to say.
Ottilie Alba is probably has the best flow but it's too vowelly for me.

Ottilie Ray
Ottilie Wren
Ottilie Renae.
Ottilie Jasmine
Ottilie Grace
Ottilie Rosabelle.
Ottilie Maeve.
Ottilie Rhiannon.

Maybe a family name or a favourite flower or a heroine or character you love? Or something you love but that felt too much in the first name spot?

Theoldwoman · 27/10/2022 09:05

I would go with a strong name, as Ottilie is quite dainty and pretty.

Ottilie Jane
Ottilie Genevieve
Ottilie Kate
Ottilie Clare
