I hate it no matter how you pronounce it. It just lacks.

I LOVE THIS NAME!!!!!!! My favorite girl name on the planet!! My mom hates it though because it reminds her of Otter, but I find it so cute and will name my little girl this! Lilly is the nickname I like this name!

If I have a daughter, I'll call her Ottilie Elizabeth Joy:):):):)

I like it a lot better than Olivia! It has a charming vibe to it, but sounds a bit upper-class when applied to a person.

I suppose so; I always hear the German pronunciation in my head.

I prefer the French versions - Odette and Odile - but only for their ballet associations. I taught an Odile once who was blonde; for the first week I kept on saying "Odette - oh, sorry, I mean Odile"! She just didn't look like the Black Swan.

I don't care for it personally

Makes me think of otters and the word utterly. It’s quite an upper / upper middle class name in the UK so feels a bit pretentious.

Don't like it
