Tabitha
Ottilie
Olivia
Lara

Very close between 1&2, more of a gulf to 3&4, which I don't like so much (or think are very popular).

One of my pets is Tabitha, so I love that one.
Friend's daughter is Lara, lovely name.
Olivia is a very respectable name, excellent.

Ottilie? You have me there. I don't think I've ever heard it before. I can't see anything wrong with it, except if everyone else is as uninformed as me, she might have to spell it out a million times.

Love love love Tabitha
Like Lara and Olivia
Not keen on Ottilie.

MrsBungle · 23/05/2015 21:47

Lara of by far the nicest.

SanityClause · 23/05/2015 21:47

Lara
Ottilie
Tabitha
Olivis

Lara says Dr Zhivago to me.

Clobbered · 23/05/2015 21:47

Ottilie - lovely and a bit different. Go for it!

Tabitha = Mrs Tabithat Twitchit (Beatrix Potter cat) to me, far too many Olivia's about, Lara = unhappiness (think Dr Zhivago).

SoftSheen · 23/05/2015 21:48

Ottilie.

nuttybananas · 23/05/2015 21:48

Olivia, Lara, Tabitha in that order. Not a fan of Ottilie at all.

PlainHunting · 23/05/2015 21:49

Like Lara.

Olivia is very popular but inoffensive.

Not keen on Tabatha or Ottilie (biased by knowing a really annoying Ottilie in RL).

Stinkersmum · 23/05/2015 21:52

Ottilie. I never heard of it and didn't like it when my friend called her dd2 this, but I love it now.

Monica101 · 23/05/2015 21:52

I'd drop Olivia only as they are all nice but that one is too popular.

I'll vote Lara.

LexieSinclair · 23/05/2015 21:52

Lara

DramaAlpaca · 23/05/2015 21:53

I like Olivia & Lara best.

Ottilie is OK.

Really don't like Tabitha.

Yellowbird01 · 23/05/2015 22:02

Lara

VenusVanDamme · 23/05/2015 22:09

Lara

LeoandBoosmum · 23/05/2015 22:27

I only like Lara. Tabitha sounds witchy to me. Never heard of Ottilie but can't say I like it. Don't like Olivia.

Allthatnonsense · 23/05/2015 22:31

Love Tabitha and Lara.

DampAndRotten · 23/05/2015 22:33

Tabitha

Sophronia · 23/05/2015 22:39

Tabitha or Lara. Olivia is so popular, and I'm not keen on Ottilie.

Ionone · 23/05/2015 22:41

I love them all, apart from Olivia which seems a little dull to me.

ilovemargaretatwood8931 · 23/05/2015 22:45

Love Lara, been a favourite of mine since I saw Dr Zhivago as a child!

Olivia is nice enough.

Tabitha and Ottilie I'm afraid I really don't warm to at all, Tabitha makes me think of a cats name (nice for cats!) and Ottilie just doesn't appeal.

swimmerforlife · 24/05/2015 00:31

Favourite by far is Lara.

Olivia is fine but super popular.

Not keen on either Tabitha or Ottilie.

Crowquill · 24/05/2015 00:33

Ottilie Smile

Judydreamsofhorses · 24/05/2015 00:42

I love Lara - Tabitha is my friend's cat's name.
