Audrey, Charlotte/Carlotta , Olimpia or Ottilie ?

[teobaldo]

Few days to go this is our final- hopefully - shortlist. Middle names will be Vittoria and Vera after my sister and dh's mother.

I love Olympia and Carlotta

I really like Audrey and Ottilie.

Audrey was my wonderful mother. Such a classy and sophisticated name.

Love Carlotta

How about Ottilia as a compromise?

I like Vera and Audrey a lot.

Olimpia I prefer with the Y spelling, but with the Olympics just around the corner I think I would use another name.

I know two little Audreys aged 2 and 7, and another in DS's class, so aged 17. One of my sisters had a friend Audrey in school, so I don't see it as old ladyish, just quite sophisticated, a name a child could carry right through life.

I suggest Natalia as a name that wouldn't cause pronunciation problems in either Italy or the UK, close to Ottilie, but without the funny 'Ott' sound -- and yes, the link to ears.

Oooh Etienne, as mentioned by someone else, is gorgeous.

My son came back from nursery today saying he would like to call the baby Anna ! I quite like it actually is a beautiful name (or not) and easy to pronounce in all languages becoming more popular for little girls now in Italy (there are quite a few at nursery here ) but do not know any young one in London...

Opinions if I add Anna to the list ?

Oh yes I love natalie but i have a friend who just called her daughter natalie. Etienne it sounds like a boy's name to me, even if it must be both as someone else suggested it as well

love charlotte
think olympia may leap in popularity in 2012 especially in july, august , and september

Anna is really beautiful.

Etienne is a boy's name surely?

Ottilie and Anna were two names on my short list for DC3, so yes to them.

Audrey is very sophisticated too.

Thanks! i have a better idea now, probably will wait and see what she looks like to take a final decision. DH does not like Anna...

Anna is my favourite by a mile: simple, classic, lovely.

Etienne is a very common boy's name in the French West Indies, if that makes any difference to you!

I like Audrey and Charlotte/Carlotta.

Anna is the best by a mile IMO.

Yes I always thought that Etienne was a boy's name, but for some reasons it has been mentioned on here twice by two different people. I am not so keen on it even if it was also a girl's name. I would not give a French name given that we are an english/italian family...
