Ottilie, Octavia...thoughts on these please, and what else? I don't want anything made up, or too modern, or too popular, however pretty (eg Olivia).

Thanks people. Orla is v pretty but I know of two babies of my acquaintance called Orla already so that's kind of out. No one like Ottilie or Octavia? Oenone is a great one and a new one to me, but I'd worry about the child suffering a life of mispronunciation. Maybe a good middle name for someone. Keep 'em coming, I appreciate it.

I really really love Ottilie and was seriously considering it for my daughter but my partner didn't like it at all.

Ophelia shortened to "phe", "fee" "fifi" is quite pretty.

I love Orla and came across quite a few in Ireland about 20 years ago (not sure how popular there now)
