How do you pronounce Ottoline?

I have just received a birth card from a friend and would like to get it right when I call. Is the "line" bit like Caroline or Kathleen? and the Otto bit - Otti or Otter or something else altogether?

Otto - line

I think you can pronounce it either way - at least I've heard people refer to Lady Ottoline Morrell as Otto-leen.

I would say Otto-leen.

I would say it like Windolene, with Otto where window would be (if that makes sense?!)
