Ottie?

[Gigi97]

Opinions on this name for a girl please? 😊 considering

@CourtRand Possibly because I'm a native German speaker, and that's the way I first came across the name as a child. I think it's a very pretty name with the 'correct' pronunciation, but "Otterly" seems like a very different name.

Are you the person who previously had an Ottie thread? Can't believe there are two people considering this name.

Awful.

It's beautiful, I love it!

Zoe Sugg (AKA Zoella) has just named her baby this so I see it going up in popularity.

@Classica nope that wasn’t me …

It's awful and I can't imagine an adult being called that tbh

Too twee for an adult. Can you imagine Sergeant Ottie Lastname?

It's awful, I'm not over keen on Ottilie itself, but at least that's a proper name. But Ottie is an unattractive nickname for Ottilie, doesn't seem like a real name and, like pps have said, has so many unfortunate rhymes! There are so many lovely names for girls, why would anyone choose 'Ottie'?

@Crowdfundingforcake

Ottilie with Ottie as a nn, OK, but not Ottie as a standalone. 'Ottie the hottie.....'

Yep, that's how I feel.

Ottilia I like even better.

OTTILIE is so common now...last 2 years there's been loads of them in NW where I am ....it will be a really dated name in time to come.....if you are going to do it , then go with the full Ottilie....Ottie is ok for a pet name but thats about it

How about Tilly as an alternative nn with Ottilie/Ottilia as the full name?

Short for Ottiline or Ottilie?

This has been asked before and I’m sure the answer was no from pretty much everyone.

It doesn’t even feel like a name.

The previous Ottie thread was mine! I thought it was a really cute name but I do think for when she’s an adult it may be better to call her something else. I hadn’t realised Zoe Sugg had called her baby Ottie until I made the thread- I think it will become a lot less unique now

I don't like it. I just think Ottie the Otter, like some cartoon or something. It sounds like it's a nickname too rather than a full proper first name.

I can’t say it in my accent, it’d be ‘oddy’, lots of other accents would struggle too. London’s, Yorkshire, Scottish etc. (‘Uh-eh’)

Zoe has called her little girl Ottilie but she shortens it to Ottie. It's such a pretty name though!

It's terrible, Ottilie is awful too but at least it's a full name

My DD is an Ottilie and nn Ottie. We also call her Otter!

Shows how tastes differ. PersonallyI think it’s very ugly name — nota graceful sound but others think it pretty.

Otter.

I just think Botty

Well, it wouldn't be for me. Ottilie is slightly more better.

Awful

It doesn't travel well at all
