I think Olivia Erin works really well!

vitaminC · 16/02/2022 21:10

I've never seen Ottolie with that spelling. Was it a typo or did you make up a unique spelling for a specific reason?

Erin and Olivia are nice but somewhat overdone.

How about Octavia? Emmeline?

MerryMarigold · 16/02/2022 21:14

I like Erin and I don't know any. I also like Erika and Lois.

Shadappayourface · 16/02/2022 21:25

With Zoe Sugg naming her daughter Ottilie it will no doubt shoot that name into the top 5!

GeneLovesJezebel · 16/02/2022 21:26

Erin

Arewethebadguys · 16/02/2022 21:29

Erin

Mumofgirls2017 · 16/02/2022 21:42

I like Erin but others nice too. What about

Orla
Olive
Penelope
Eden
Ellen
Clover
Elodie

RupertOscar1999 · 16/02/2022 21:47

I love the name Ottilie! Otti is a cute nn

Luredbyapomegranate · 16/02/2022 21:47

Olivia, I guess. It’s overused but it’s classic.

Erin’s overused and blah. Ottilie is really faddy. (It’s spelt Ottilie)

More unusual alternatives - Antonia, Edwina, Alexandra, Cecily, Verity, Leonie, Ffion, Jocelyn, Catrin

blameitonthecaffeine · 16/02/2022 22:21

I love Erin and don't think it's overused at all - I hardly know any.

Olivia is pretty. Still very popular obviously but it's been that way for probably nearly 20 years so I don't think it's faddy.

Not keen on Ottilie.

Moo31 · 16/02/2022 22:36

We had Erin and Olivia on our list - lovely names However we had a boy! Other names we had on our girls list -

Ivy
Freya
Jade
Heidi
Jane
Jenna
Elsie
Alice

Bortles · 16/02/2022 23:58

Erin is the nicest of the tthree.

What about Felicity?

KirstenBlest · 17/02/2022 16:45

Olivia - nice but has been very popular for decades so she'll always be Olivia Surname
Erin - harsh sounding and nothingy
Ottolie - the German pronunciation is nice but the UK pronunciation isn't

I'd not choose any of them

StopForAMinute · 17/02/2022 17:27

Erin

Hadtocomment · 17/02/2022 17:53

I'd probably vote Erin.

on the old names thread someone mentioned the name Sidonie which I thought was nice. Bit different.

AdaColeman · 17/02/2022 18:14

I like Olivia best from your list, but it is still very popular.

Other names with a similar vibe are Jessica Julia and Beatrice. Or with a French flavour, Manon.

Fivebeanchilli · 17/02/2022 18:18

Ottilie is pretty but feels quite "now".
I've never liked Erin but for no good reason!
Olivia is a bit dull because it's so popular but it's still my favourite of your three I think.
I prefer Livia.

welshpolarbear · 17/02/2022 18:29

How about Ophelia? Effie for short?

I love Heidi too and not too popular.

I like Erin the best out of your choices.

welshpolarbear · 17/02/2022 18:31

Oh forgot, I do like Olivia, with Libby for short, but it's been at the top of the names list for a few years now so there are a lot of little girls with the name.

PollyRae16 · 20/02/2022 17:38

Thanks for all the suggestions ☺️

Genuinely thought it was spelt Ottolie 🙈 might just blame baby brain.

Olivia is one of DH favourites but yes
It does put me off it's been at the top of name lists for years!

We did always like Isla, but again too popular and too much of a mouthful with our DS' name.

Finding girls names so much harder!

Matilda gives you the option of Tilly as NN if you like that about Ottilie or Ettie/Etta have a similar feel to the Ottie NN.
Erin and Olivia both lovely.
Merryn, Orla, Phoebe, Annie, Hester, Effie, Romilly, Elodie I think have a similar feel.

RupertOscar1999 · 20/02/2022 21:12

The name Ottillie was in our name list but it didn't fit in with our other children's names...
The other names in our girls list
Holly
Riley
Adelaide (My favourite on this list)
Madeline
Talia
Dylan
Evie
Matilda nn Matty (You can have Tilly or Tilda)
Florence
Willow
Oakley
Mollie
