Hi all, we are really struggling with a name for our second daughter and would love some opinions/suggestions please!

Our first is ‘Ottilie Sophia’.

I loved Adeline, Cecily (Cici), Ruby (Roo), Clara and Ophelia but sadly hubby won’t get on board.

We both like Zara & Elodie - He’s on the fence with Alba which is currently my favourite.

He loves Millie which I do like but don’t think it goes with Ottilie.

Any input would be appreciated…

Florence, Elodie or Alba is beautiful!

I know siblings Ottilie and Clementine and Ottilie and Xanthe.

Do you like either of those?

Maybe Emmeline, Millicent, Camilla or Melissa nn Milly? It’s a bit too nicknamey to go with Ottilie all by itself I agree.

I like Zara, but I think Elodie and Ottilie fall over each other a bit - it’s the double 3 syllables plus y ending - but Eloise, Elowen or Eleanor would all work

also maybe..

I would stick with 3 syllables but would go for something less ‘ee’ sounding

Beatrice
Miranda
Rosamund

I will never understand the “ it doesn’t go with …”
I have introduced myself to people for the past 50 odd years and have never once mentioned my siblings names , not once !
you can call your kids ottile, Bert and Francesca- louise literally no one will bat an eye lid

release yourself from the weird constraint of “going / sounding like a set ?? It’s entirely unnecessary

I agree with this - as an adult - but when the children are little you do list their names and those of friends’ children. If they are not along similar lines it does sound strange.

I knew a couple - through my husband’s work - who had little children in similar groupings to ‘Thomasina and Gary’. Each fine on their own but together?
