What else might I like? DH not sold on any of them and we have quite different name views (although he hasn't suggested any!).

Other names towards the top of my list but not quite right:-

Primrose
Beatrice

DD1 is a flower name, so DH very against Primrose as two flower names might be a bit much together.

I’m up north and never come across either name round here (work with kids)

fairly sure the standard is Ottilie not Ottolie though

Show quote history

Ha ha I can't spell!

I am in the Home Counties. Tons of Ottilies, Ophelias, Matildas and Elodies.

Unreconstituted · 28/10/2024 15:55

Don't do Ottolie. They're ten a penny around here.

Ditto Ophelia.

Cecilia - nicer than Cecily IMO and both can be shortened to Ceci. Cassandra Cordelia, Constanza, Caroline or Charlotte/Carlotta. Ophelia is not too dissimilar to Otoline, or Octavia. Jacinda or Julia instead of Jocelyn

Gloriana1 · 28/10/2024 14:17

I have a Cecily, if I had another daughter she'd be Cleo.

I love Cleo.
