A brother for Ottilie

[lovelybear22]

Name suggestions for a little brother for Ottilie please.

I’m sorry but all of these names…. Wow.

You must live somewhere quite pleasant and accepting of such names because if I shouted Ottilie, Ptolemy, Quentin, Maximus or Augustus in our school playground, I’d probably get laughed out the school yard

And we live in a nice quaint rural
village

Surely, it’s not just me that thinks you could just use a nice normal name that doesn’t invite an option for bullies in later life?! 🤷‍♀️

Ottilie is fine, it’s well within the top 100 girls names so would pair perfectly fine with any popular boys name. I’m not sure what’s with all the random suggestions that sound like parody private school names, do people really name their babies Ptolemy or Ambrose.

Max (Maximus) and Tilly (Ottilie) are very mainstream. If people are laughing at those they need to get out a bit more. Perhaps the village is too small and too rural. Small minds and all that.

Something short: Ben, Max, Jack

Elliott
Ellis
Digby
Thomas
Timothy
Lewis
Owen

Fabian
Hugo
Dashiell
Barnaby
Myles
Raphael

Guy
Tobias

Actually laughing out loud. Is it even a name? 😆😆

You must live in a very ‘rural’ area if you’d laugh at children called those names! Wow

Thankfully we live in a more open minded area as my children have some of those names.

But a name like Ptolemy IS going to be very hard to carry round and people will judge. (Although I’m still not convinced it’s a real name 🤔)

Posters on this section are very quick to call certain names ‘chavvy’ but it’s not allowed the other way round for some reason.

Ottilie is very popular so maybe

Thomas
Henry
Joseph
Harry
Mason

Do people not know who Ptolemy is?

Ottilie and Valentin
Ottilie and Miles
Ottilie and Ivan
Ottilie and Raphael
Ottilie and Christian

I meant ‘actual name’ as in ‘do people actually name their babies this’

Looking on the darkgreener website it seems zero babies registered with this name in 2023 so just one of those weird MN quirks it seems

Stanley
Spike

Rory
Barnaby/Barney
Max
Caspar
Mylo
Sebastian
Fin
Rollo
Rocco
Jaego

I know an Etta (another great blues singer) whose brother is Harris.

The one Ottilie I know has a brother named Elliott.

While both names are lovely, perhaps not so much together.

For me a similar ‘vibe’ would be-
Arthur
Arlo
Roman
Oakley
Luca
Reggie
Theo

but I think names with one syllable would sound good if you want them to ‘match’ in a pair-

James
Jack
George
Max
Jude
Finn

Bottilie?

I'll get my coat......... 😬

Hugo
Felix
Jago

Raffy (Rafferty)
Louis
Gabriel
George

Deacon

It's 100% a real name and common as muck in some parts.

I’m assuming OP is in the UK though. I looked it up on darkgreener and it’s extremely rare here, zero babies registered with that name last year. To my surprise a very small handful of babies in some of the other years (bless them 😬) but still very very rare.
