It’s so rarely said altogether that it really doesn’t matter, the only one I’d maybe avoid is Matilida since all the Ottilies and Matilidas I know all go by Tilly so too samey.

I think a one syllable middle name works best

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

I love Ottilie. We have a Matilda so when pregnant with our second I couldn’t really use it because Ottilie is too similar to ‘Tilly.’ Although like pp said middle names aren’t used that much so wouldn’t make much difference. I also had Clementine top of my list. Beautiful name.

We seem to have similar taste in names…what about Ottilie Pearl?

How about a family name?

Middle names NEVER get used.

I would avoid three names starting with vowels.

Clementine flows slightly better then Matilda.

Ottilie Jane would be lovely.
