Ottilie Clover is gorgeous!

I like Ottilie Olive. And I think having the signature OO Lastname is pretty cool.

What's the point of a middle name?

What's the point of a middle name?

I agree I'm confused at how 'important' it is and then people go for a very generic nothingy name! In this case Mabel is a family name so for me there is a lovely reason for having one

I don't have a middle name and have never missed not having one! I don't see the point of them...

I came to say the same thing. Unless the surname is also one syllable in which case, don't.

I don’t think so - the Rose/Grace/May thing has become such a cliche.. Pearl/Hope/Fern seem to be the new variants on this.

I think something 2 syllable, but quite soft and slow to anchor the delicate Ottilie

Ottilie Mabel is really nice

Or

Ottilie Frances
Ottilie Katharine
Ottilie Charlotte
Ottilie Constance
Ottilie Margaret / Margot
Ottilie Beatrix
Ottilie Sarah

I think consonants sound best for contrast, but also quite like Ottilie Edith
