Ottilie and Odalys
Ottilie is German. How would you pronounce it?Odalys is Spanish. At first I thought it might be "OH-dah-lees," which I didn't much like, but then I considered the, in my opinion, more flattering "oh-DAHL-is" (sort of like "Ode Alice" or "Oh Dallas").Anyways... :)

In German, Ottilie is pronounce O-TEE-lee-eh. And it's very old-fashioned (and has rarely ever been used much) :)

I'd attempt Ottilie like so: OAT-tih-lee. I'm sure that's wrong. In my own accent, it'd be OTT-uh-lee. Or even Ottle- ee.Odalys looks like "oh-DAL-iss" to me (or as you say, Oh Dallas :-) I like that best too.- chazda
