Which is your favourite? Sibling to Hugo and Ottilie :-)

all middle aged french women!

Not a bad thing to be, surely? Grin And rather chic provenance for even a non-French daughter.

TBH most of the women I know are middle aged french women so perhaps doesn't actually tell you much!

Celeste is a ghostie, not a real girl …

ScubaDivingSpiderMonkey · 09/04/2024 13:31

Celeste sounds like she's got her shit together.

shoopshoopdedoo · 09/04/2024 13:30

Florence is my favourite, followed by Celeste. I’m not keen on Odette or Elodie. Also, personally, agree that Clementine is a fruit!

Love Florence.

Celeste is fine too.

FestiveAuntFanny · 09/04/2024 12:39

I don't know where you live OP but I know at least one person with all of those names and they are all middle aged french women!

BlossomBlossomBlossom · 09/04/2024 12:37

Clemency is better than any of them …

Familiaritybreedscontemptso · 09/04/2024 12:28

Gorgeous names.

Clementine for me but will you use the English (Tyne) or French (teen) pronunciation & just prepare yourselves for people often using the other pronunciation.

Waggytail · 09/04/2024 12:26

Florence

Antibetty · 09/04/2024 12:25

Celeste and Florence are my absolute favourites! BTW Celeste is Babar's wife in the Babar books.

BlueChampagne · 09/04/2024 12:10

Celeste

TenThousandSpoons · 09/04/2024 10:11

Elodie is my favourite. Maybe not with Ottilie though.

But maybe they go together really nicely on second thoughts.

StellaOlivetti · 09/04/2024 08:56

Clementine 100%
of your others, I quite like Florence, but prefer Clementine.

GreyhoundGal1 · 09/04/2024 08:49

I love Celeste or Elodie personally. I also like Florence but not as much, and it's much more popular if that bothers you. I feel like Ottilie and Odette are maybe slightly too close for siblings if there are other options you love. Good luck and let us know what you choose!

Aria20 · 09/04/2024 07:08

Celeste or Florence.
Elodie is ok but not with ottilie.
Def not odette or clementine - Clemmie as a nickname just make me cringe.

Honeybunzz · 09/04/2024 06:19

Celeste or Florence

more leaning towards Florence

Nicebloomers · 09/04/2024 06:16

Celeste of Florence

Celeste or Florence

Yes this. Clementine is a fruit.

landscapepainter · 09/04/2024 06:09

Celeste or Florence

Moreteaandchocolate · 09/04/2024 06:06

Florence would be my personal pick

Elodie is my favourite but it does sound quite similar to Ottilie.

Celeste would be my second choice.

Elspethelf · 09/04/2024 02:01

Husband and I both vote Florence. Celeste is a close second :)

theduchessofspork · 09/04/2024 00:45

Clementine I think

Elodie is nice too but too many Ellies, and too similar to Ottilie

Florence is alright

Celeste makes me think of birth control pills and Odette of odour (and it’s too similar to Ottilie) so no to those

How about Cecile, Marianne or Genevieve?

HoHoHoliday · 09/04/2024 00:30

Florence.
