Nancy.

Florence is pretty, reminds me of Florence and the Machine. Orla is okay (Again, Isla is nicer). Dorothy, Meredith, Iris and Nancy sound very frumpy to me. And I imagine a little girl called Ottilie being teased terribly and nicknamed otter.

Meredith by a long way

Also like Nancy and Iris

Least favourite:

Florence

Dorothy - I really like Dorothy nn Dot or Dotty
Meredith - love Meredith, prefer without a nn. Not a fan of Meri but like Edie
Ottilie - Ottie - like Ottilie not so sure on Ottie. Prefer Ottoline
Florence - love but it's so popular here
Iris - i really like Iris. It keeps growing on md
Nancy - really dislike it.
Orla - pretty sound but inagibe prone to autocorrect mistakes

My top 3:
Iris
Meredith
Dorothy

Thanks everyone for the opinions! Seems a mixed bag, I’m loving Meredith, Dottie, Iris and Nacy the most. Ottilie seems to be a bit of a marmite name which I kind of expected. Just need to get DH to warm to Iris as I love it but he sadly doesn’t!
