Ottilie, Octavia...thoughts on these please, and what else? I don't want anything made up, or too modern, or too popular, however pretty (eg Olivia).

Ottilie is a beautiful name and can also be spelled Othilie (which I prefer).

I have an elderly student called Orlanda.

Opal, Olga, Olympia, quite nice, erm... Ochra, Orca, Oompalompah, Ocado, - sorry can think of lots more bad ones, I think the nicest O name is Olivia and others are few and far between. Why does it have to be O?

Do you not fancy Otolith?

They are microscoptic crystals in the ear which let you know when you are standing upright!

Go one, have a punt at Onan!

Fernando Torres's long-term GF is called Olalla. (Sister to Odipsy.) The things you find out when your 8 year old DS is in love with Torres.

Some from a German name book that I haven't seen here yet:

Odalind - wealth and mild
Orania - orange
Orthia - form of Dorothea
Orthild - spearhead and battle
Ortlind - spearhead and gentle
Ortrud - spearhead and trust
Ortrun - spearhead and mystery
Ostara - born in the month of Easter
Oswine (hmmmm!) - God and friend
Otberga - wealth and treasure
Oxana - form of Xenia meaning hospitable
Ozeana - from the ocean

There's a song by Les Negresses Vertes which I really like called Orane.

No idea if it's really a French name but I love the song.
