Ok so I don't find out what I'm having until next fortnight & I have chosen both names yet I'm told that the girls name I have chose is too 'Chavvy' & I have to find something else by my 'D'M .

I'd like a none biased opinion so I have come to you lot for help & other name suggestions as I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall trying to find anything at all Smile

Sadie Liesel

Ruairi Atticus Norton

It's the girls name that I'm told is too chavvy/ common Confused & I still need a second middle name for girl as well .

Also if I like these what else would I like ?

Eternally grateful for any ideas/responses

Holly - you ask about 'Ottilie'. It's from Germany, and the traditional pronouciation of it is something like Ot-tee-lih-yuh. The final 'e' is sounded. www.behindthename.com/name/ottilie

On the other hand, French speakers say: Ot-teel-lee.

The traditional English version was/is Ottoline (Ott-oh-leen) not Ottolie. So if you prefer 'Otillie', then I think you have to choose which foreign pronounciation you prefer, and copy that!

You can hear several different pronounciations here: www.forvo.com/word/ottilie/

DP is called Ottilie - it's pronounced "Oh-till-ee"

FreckledLeopard · 03/11/2014 15:24

Realised my post made no sense. Pronunciation is "Ott" (to rhyme with "hot") - "illy" - so "Ottilly".

I think Sadie is a lovely name and I know a little girl called Sadie and it suits her beautifully.
The only slightly obscure name I can think of that I love is Romalie. My friend's daughter is a Romalie and I love the name and would use it myself if it wasn't for the fact she'd beat me to it!

Sadie is not chavvy imo. But it does look like 'sad' i.e. someone who is a saddie to me.

Sadie and Liesel are beautiful names.

Ruairi Atticus Norton sounds like a bonkers professor Grin

Ruairi isnt my favourite Irish boy's name at all. Prefer Cillian, Oisin, Ciaran.

But NO - none of these names are 'chavvy' (hate that word)

Grin

Thanks Bells

I can't not think of wrinkled American tan Lisle stockings. Or the po-faced Liesl in TSOM.

Sorry.

Sadie was the name of my neighbours dog back in the day. She was a lovely dog. :)

Isn't it Romillie?

Toucanet · 05/11/2014 00:36

I thought it was Romilly - oh dear.

Probably those who've looked at baby name books know better than me. Though if you only know the spelling from looking at names would you want to give a child that label?! If I get there will be going for something simple, you know, Adam, Eve etc!

LilAnnieAmphetamine · 05/11/2014 07:51

I have found Romillie / Romilly so you are right Toucanet.
