Ottilie, Isadora, Olympia or Allegra?

Ottilie, Isadora, Olympia or Allegra?

Allegra I think of the four overall. Have you considered Antonia or Aurelia though? - similar style but a bit better known/less obviously UC vibes.

Olympia is lovely but I’m not sure how easy it would be to live with especially if she’s unsporty! I prefer similar Octavia (despite people going on about the car 🙄)

Ottilie is much too trendy for me and as others have mentioned, the potential nn Dora for Isadora isn’t nice at all imo (so I second pp suggestion of Isolde instead).

I always associate the name with Isadora Duncan.

I have an Allegra so obviously love that one. It doesn't get shortened but she's welcome to when she's older. She occaisionally meets one her age at hobbies etc.

Ottilie is VERY popular, i know about 5. The one i know best goes by Ottie.

Olympia is cute.

How about Athena/Athenie to add to the list?

Isadora and Allegra were both on our shortlist for youngest daughter. (Also Annabel, Lucinda and Lydia.) In the end we discounted both as my husband wasnt keen on Dora as a diminutive (too like Doreen) and we both thought Allegra would get shortened to Legs or Leggy.

Olympia is ugly and masculine sounding.

Otillie sounds awful with a glottal stop and it's really really common and "of the moment" right now so will be badly dated in 10 years.

I know an Isadora. Love Allegra and wish I had used for my DD. Olympia I like since watching TV series Bump, they shorten it to Oly in the programme.

Allegra is lovely.

I like Isadora but prefer Isabella (yes I know it's been well used but still a beautiful name).

Olympia is nice in itself, but the Olympic connection feels like it would be a brave choice if she's not likely to be sporty.

Not keen on Ottillie.

No.

You've already got a thread for your horse names OP, why start another one? And in the baby names section?

These all sound like injection

I assume you’re a) rich, and b) are certain you will remain so!

Good luck!

Just go for Dora . Absolutely love that name and would choose that name for a girl from you choices.

Isn’t an Allegra and old car , not keen on any of those OP. They all sound clunky .

Allegra

All nice names.
My faves, in order:

Allegra - gorgeous sound and musical meaning.
Olympia - for a second name.

Ottilie - I like Ottie but think of the word, utterly.
Isadora - I prefer Isobel and Isolde.

Do you like Callidora or Alison?

They are all truly awful names. Like properly ugly.

Also in addition to sounding hideous suggest wannabe higher up the class structure than you actually are

Allegra sounds like something green and slimy you fish out of a pond!

the fashion for many UC families now is to name kids things like Buzz, Rebel or Flash. I know a Ginger (girl). Wolf is a bit outmoded but also v popular.

Their parents are all called things like Orlando and Ottille, btw. I’m sure Fang will be the next hip name.

Ottie and Dora are cute if you shorten them. The original names are awful.

Isadora is gorgeous.

Ignore the people who are suggesting you should know your place. It's not 1910 any more.

They’re all ghastly

Chardonnay?

I like Olympia and Allegra. I’m all for bringing back some Greek and Roman names

Far too frilly

Just throwing a couple of nicknames out there as they haven't been suggested (but should probably be weighed up, as names are often abbreviated): Olympia = Ollie or Pia
