I saw a children's book called "Ottoline and the Yellow Cat" today. The name Ottoline just stood out to me. I'd never heard it before, but now I think it sounds interesting and pretty. What do you think of Ottoline?

All I see is OTTO, and that's off-putting for me. I like other names that begin with a masculine name (i.e. Josephine), but I guess it's because they're more mainstream than Ottoline. I do like Odilia, though.

I like it. It has a nice sound to it. It was Tippins who made me take notice of it. I loved her description of it.

I adore Ottoline. Funny, I found the name here and went looking for "pop culture" links and found "Ottoline & the Yellow Cat", not the other way 'round! I've since take Ottoline off my list and put the more formal Ottilie on. Ottoline is a nickname form of Ottilie. I've been thinking about putting Ottoline back on my list.

I don't really care for it. It's the otto part that puts me off of it.
