Ottilie
Thoughts on Ottilie?I think it's really cute and pronounced in English reminds me of names like Amélie or Emily.I like the Ts pronounced as Ts, not as Ds as in some American accents.Could it work?Please rate my list: https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/6232

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.
