What else might I like? DH not sold on any of them and we have quite different name views (although he hasn't suggested any!).

Other names towards the top of my list but not quite right:-

Primrose
Beatrice

DD1 is a flower name, so DH very against Primrose as two flower names might be a bit much together.

I have a Cecily, if I had another daughter she'd be Cleo.

I love Cleo.

Londonmummy66 · 28/10/2024 14:22

Cecilia - nicer than Cecily IMO and both can be shortened to Ceci. Cassandra Cordelia, Constanza, Caroline or Charlotte/Carlotta. Ophelia is not too dissimilar to Otoline, or Octavia. Jacinda or Julia instead of Jocelyn

Thanks all - some really good ideas. Some of them were on my list for dd1 that I'd forgotten about so I'll add them to the current list!

Edited

I’m up north and never come across either name round here (work with kids)

fairly sure the standard is Ottilie not Ottolie though
