Otillie? Could you give a phonetic pronunciation for this name. I've never come across it and am interested in it. Thanks

@manicmij it is literally Natalie but with an Ott sound at the beginning. I went to school with a lovely one BUT it gets spelled incorrectly a lot.

Sorry if some you’ve already mentioned:-

Annalise, Allegra, Arabella, Annie, Anastasia, Anya, Athena, Autumn, Aubrey, Aurora, Anais, Beau, Brielle, Briella, Brianna, Brianne, Bonnie, Brooke, Betsy, Clara, Cleo, Cerys, Carys, Caroline, Catherine, Christina, Clementine, Cody, Cassie, Candy, Candice, Donna, Daniela, Dorinda, Darcy, Delilah, Demi, Della, Danni, Esme, Erika, Eden, Emilie, Ester, Eloise, Elodie, Fern, Feodora, Felicity, Fraya, Ffion, Georgia, Georgina, Giselle, Genevieve, Grace, Gemma, Hazel, Harriet, Henrietta, Honour, Hallie, Hadley, Hettie, Isis, Ivy, Irina, Jessica, Jody, Jasmine, Jennifer, Jezebel, Joelle, Jemima, Jacinta, Kayla, Kody, Kelly, Katie, Kathryn, Leah, Lois, Layla, Lindsey, Lucy, Leilani, Layne, Leanne, Laura, Lorna, Lily, Lillian, Lilith, Luna, Lesley, Lexi, Marnie, Martha, Megan, Melanie, Millicent, Miranda, Mia, Maya, Mila, Morgan, Maisie, Nicola, Nicole, Nova, Nancy, Noelle, Natasha, Nellie, Nia, Niamh, Ottilie, Ophelia, Olivia, Pandora, Pippa, Poppy, Quinn, Rebecca, Romy, Remy, Rachel, Rose, Regan, Rosalie, Savannah, Sara, Sadie, Sasha, Sally, Seren, Summer, Storm, Thea, Thalia, Tianna, Tegan, Toni, Terri, Terrianna, Vivienne, Victoria, Violet, Via, Willow, Wren, Xavier, Yana, Zara

Am I right, the Ott sounds like Nat. Any idea of its origin. Never seen it before. Fascinating

We came up with our DD's name independently from each other a week before she was born. I read the name in a baby name book, DH saw the name on a magazine cover. He came home quite excited saying he had found a name he loved. Couldn't believe it when it was the same one I found. Now I'm not saying fate will intervene like it did with us, but you'll find a name you both like. For now take the pressure off yourselves.

I had similar with my husband for boys names.
Me: Isaac
Him: no, Jack
Me: I don't like Jack, Joseph
Him: Jack.

Eventually I said to him that I was never going to agree to Jack and that he needed to take it off the table. He replied that he would as long as I did the same for Isaac (my first choice). Having done that, I moved to the second name on my list

Me: Thomas
Him: Tank Engine
Me: will you shut up and stop being flippant for one minute. Listen to me, Thomas George (we already had George as a middle name after my FIL)
Him: stunned silence for a moment.

DS1 is Thomas George.

We had Edie picked out for a girl, but even as I went into labour couldn't agree on a middle name.

@manicmij The Ott doesn't sound like Nat, pp meant that the name Ottile sounds like Natalie, but with Ott replacing the Nat part. So phonetically it's Ott-i-lee

Anna

Lydia?

What about Talie or Talia as a compromise?

Thank you, a completely new name to me.Will have to research it.

How about Edith? Aria? Margaret (Maggie)

What names has your husband said he does like?

Odette
Elodie
Juniper
Cecily
Rowena

Willa?

Your husband sounds like a bit of a bellend tbh.

Don't keep giving him more things to veto. Tell him he has to come up with some suggestions. If he can't, then the list of possibles is only populated with your choices.
