Twin girls! Ottilie? Ophelia? Eloise?

[Sunflowers1999]

Ottilie, Ophelia and Eloise are the top three choices here. I love the matching initials of two O names (not concerned about post, etc. My two sisters and I have the same initials and have never had issues!) but have also loved Eloise for years, so would love some help!

I’d agree with you 10 years ago, but all those names are Top 100 and rising now so are going to be much more commonplace by the time OP’s twins are at school.

I live in an area that is in no means wealthy but know both a toddler Ophelia and Ottilie (admittedly don’t know an Eloise personally) and no one seems to have anything to say about it - but then who would have thought boys names like Sebastian, Hugo and Rupert would be flying high in the charts? “Posh” names don’t seem to have quite the same connotations they used to imo.

Maybe not yet, but potentially later in life.

I'd go with Ophelia and Eloise as Ophelia and Ottilie rhyme!

If you want Lettie, then you would be better off with Scarlet, Violet, or Colette.

Ottilie and Ophelia scream "we desperately want to sound posh". Female equivalents of Hugo.

Agree, with PP, if you're putting them through public school then it's less of an issue, but at the local comp you'll look like those parents.

It's more common now, people didn't really do this until the last decade or so.

Also, as a mum of twins, it really really helps not to have the same initial, for the umpteen double jabs, appointments, documents etc. Trust me.

It's not that Ophelia is pretentious to me, it's the origin.

What about Octavia, Opal, Olympia?
Ottilie I think is too frilly. Doesn't sound like a powerful woman but a perpetually limpid child with a lisp.

Eloise and Opal
Eloise and Letitia
Eloise and Zelie
