Ottie or Esmeralda?

[Gigi97]

Opinions on these girls names please ….

Both dreadful. Is Ottie even an actual name? Sorry, but I'm really not a fan.

I’ve not heard of Ottie before. People may think it’s a mis-spelling of Ottilie.

Esmerelda is the better one of the 2.

I don't like either

I love Ottie but I think it's normally a nickname for Ottilie. Esmeralda is too long, unless you plan to short it to Esme mostly.

Shorten* 🤦‍♀️

Esmerelda……..without a doubt.

Neither I'm afraid. Ottie would spend her life correcting from Ollie to Lottie and even then it's not great. As for Esmeralda! It's Disney time with that name, poor wee soul. You could go for Esme but on its own not short for Esmeralda, I'm cringing for her.

Neither, sorry.

If I had to choose at gunpoint then Esmeralda because Ottie isn't really a name - at best it's a nickname - and makes me think "Otter".

Both dreadful.
Emerald might be an alternative to Esmeralda

Not a big fan of either, sorry. I've never heard of Ottie. What about Esme?

Is Ottie going to be short for Otillie or charlotte (and hopefully not otter)? And I love Esmerelda.

I love Esmerelda!

I've only heard Ottie as short for Ottilie and I don't love it as a standalone name (though Lottie is a top 100 name and is also a nickname). I prefer Ottilie to Esmeralda, but Esmeralda to Ottie.

Definitely Esmerelda. Ottie sounds like the name of a soft toy otter.

I can't imagine being an adult woman in a professional role with either of those names.

Your not naming a doll, you're not naming an eternal cute toddler. You have to give a baby a name that will still hold good when they're six months, six years, 36 and 56 years old.

Esmeralda

Anything about Ottie

Ottilie or Ottoline are fine, but not Ottie (as anything other than a nickname)

Esmeralda is lovely.

Ottie is short for Ottilie

Neither

Esmeralda is beautiful

Ottie/Otter is awful

Not a fan of either sorry

Ottie = potty
Esmeralda too strong hunchback of Notre Dame connections. I can’t imagine real life adults with either of these names.
