I like Ottilie but not Clara.

I think Clara is a beautiful name and goes well with Arabella.

I’m funny about names ending in the same sound.

I like:

Arabella and Genevieve
Arabella and Lucille
Arabella and Josephine
Arabella and Caroline
Arabella and Bethany
Arabella and Dominique
Arabella and Juliet
Arabella and Frances
Arabella and Sylvie
Arabella and Penelope
Arabella and Grace
Arabella and Charlotte
Arabella and Elisabeth
Arabella and Nicolette
Arabella and Millicent
Arabella and Lillian

Arabella and Cressida
Arabella and Alessia
Arabella and Cecile / cecily

I like Ottilie the best
I don't like Clara in English speaking country because some are pronouncing it Clair-a which to me is super wrong
that said, some people pronounce Ottilie as Oddi-lya... how are you pronouncing it? I would still say Ottilie is my fave because I don't see any pronunciation of Ottilie as being more correct than others, while I don't agree with Clair-a pronunciation.

I would be honest and just go with Eloise if its still an option. Eloise only has one pronunciation AFAIK, and it's equally as pretty as your two options.
I would suggest Cordelia and Cecily, as well.

I love Clara, and think it sounds great with Arabella.

Choose Clara lovely name!

Personally, I already disliked the name Ottilie, but, once you’ve sat in a playground listening to several try hard mothers calling their daughters named Ottilie (which is v common here) my dislike turned to hate it’s a dreadful name

Arabella and Katarina?

(you can spell Katarina different ways, I just went phonetic)

Not Ottilie.

I like Clara also

Romilly
Iris
lucinda
Hebe

There's a phrase where I live called heeby jeebies, so Hebe is a no for me. Sorry.

Things like beasties, old buildings, creep things cause us to have the heeby jeebies! 😬

Ottilie sounds so pretentious to me but i love Clara.

Prefer Ottilie.

Suggestions-
Juliette
Genevieve
Clementine
Henrietta
Ursula
Victoria

Eloise is the nicest on your list by far. I don't like the others. You might end up with an Ella and Ellie though.

Arabella and Eloise is the nicest pair.

I really like Clara, not a big fan of Ottilie. It’s feels faddy. And don’t we pronounce it incorrectly?

I adore the name Clara - also I think the two names work better together.

"Arabella and Ottilie" is a bit of a mouthful to say, and think of all the times they'll be called together.

Ottilie as a middle name would work really well though!

Another option is Alissia. Prefer this spelling to Alicia/Alyssia!

I like it but with Alyssia spelling (Alicia has pronounciation issues and alissia looks a bit odd).
prefer Alyssa though

Love Clara!

I think Ottilie is a lovely name but agree with a previous poster that Arabella and Ottilie might be a mouthful. Lots of cute nicknames for Ottilie though. I like Clara too.
