Ottilie or Penelope?

[Pygmyseahorse]

Hi all

Dd2 due Dec. We are struggling after using the only 2 names we could agree on with our first

My fav is Ottilie, where I am it's not commonly used, I don't know any but aware its rising. Dh dislikes this name

Penelope (penny) is our 2nd choice but it's more popular and I'm really not one to like top 100 names, but it is a family name which is why we would use it.

Baby due in Dec.

I like feminine and classic names, not too twee old lady or unusual but not top 100

Dh hates girls names basically!!

Thank you :)

@mrs87 that's exactly what we said! Though I'm not keen on jools nn myself as I know a few from work etc.

I do like Julia and Juliet still but it's just that slight iffy bit.
Similar to dd1s middle name and this ones middle name.. Absolutely love them but as first name they would inevitably be shortened and not to anything we like.

I found nursery or friends and family shorten names, even with dd1 when hers isn't a name you would shorten
