Sister for Arabella… Clara? Ottilie?

[Sunflowers1999]

Sister for Arabella…

Clara (I worry it’s too plain though)
Ottilie

Suggestions are very welcome!!

Names on the list that have been ruled out: Aurelia, Ophelia, Eloise (although reconsidering this one)

Arabella & Hermione

I know siblings Arabella and Matilda :) I think they go beautifully together!

Arabella and Harriet maybe?

Clara 💕

Hate the name Ottilie. It's try hard as means wealthy and a lot of the mum's are that "type" in my opinion... (Loads here in Surrey).

Mumsnet scales yet another peak - plumbs yet another depth? - of pretentiousness.

I only like Ottilie or Eloise
I'm not keen on Clara because I only like Clar-a pronunciation pver Claire-a one and I find Ottilie easier to say to both way Clara can be pronounced.
That said, I'm fully into camp to reconsider Eloise. I think it works on both fully English and fully French girl and it's pretty easy to pronounce.

I only like Clair-a pronunciation and it was Clair-a in the UK until fairly recently.
Eloise gets misspelt as Elouise, which would do my head in.
Ottilie might get 'Oh'illeh' in some accents.

Suggestions - Louisa, Matilda, Tabitha, Melissa

Ottilie sounds much better but other suggestions are Claudia, Sarah, Eliza.
And congrats to you.!!🤗

I’m not sure we share the same taste, but I do like Clara from your choices. Not keen on the others, especially Ottilie - it was pretty unheard of a few years ago and now there are so many!

The sibsets I know IRL which work are

Arabella and Beatrice
Arabella and Rosaline
Arabella and Cecily
Arabella and Juniper
Arabella and Francesca

Clara is getting very popular imo, as is Ottilie

Arabella and Cressida? Claudia? Delilah? Beatrice?

Love Clara

We have Arabella and Ottile sisters in our family so I think they go great together.

Anything but Ottilie.
