Like or loathe (shortened to Tilly)?

Like.

like

lovely

I know one, she is lovely

Pretty. Very pretty. Isn't it Ottilie?

Really like.

yeah sorry I spelt it wrong.

Doesn't sit well with our surname

How are you pronouncing it - where are you putting the stressed syllable?

Ottilie is lovely, i know a very cute one about 3 years.
I dont like Tilly though.

I love Otillie! I wouldn't think it needs shortening at all - it rolls nicely off the tongue.

I assume you stress the first syllable (the O), not the tillie, in which case Tillie wouldn't be a natural nickname imo.

Really like Ottilie.
Much prefer Ottie to Tilly though if you are going to shorten it.

Why would you shorten Ottilie to Tilly ?

Ottillie is a lovely, unique name that is perfect as it is imo. Tilly, on the other hand, is quite common and boring imo.

Also, as others have said, aren't you stressing the 'O' rather than the Tilie?

There used to be an Ottilie at the school I work at - she shortened it to Lottie until she was in Year 6 when she started to call herself Tilly instead.

not tilly

sigh

I love this

DH is veto-ing it

I know an Ottilie. Stress is on the 'O'. I wouldn't shorten it.

Dont shorten to tily, there are loads of matildas/ tilys about these days.

I absolutely love Ottilie, gorgeous name.

I have an Ottilie, as she is still little she gets called Ottie mostly. Not too keen on Tilly.

Love it. Don't shorten it though, too pretty as it is.

Oh lovely! Can I nick it as a replacement for Oenone?

I just love it, but vetoed here too!

i just don't get this name.....at all....sorry

It is pretty but I'm not as fond of it as most of the others seem to be!!
