Re: Thank you!
I know Ottilie is a French name, but perhaps if he came to see it more as part of the charming, old-fashioned name trend, like Millie, Lillie, Natalie, Isabelle and Josephine. What about Ottilie, nn Tillie?Anyhoo, I'm tickled that you like Pearl so well. I had a funny feeling when I typed the combination. I'm not sure if you're considering it as a fn, but I thought I'd pass on my favorite Pearl combination. I saw a little girl in a magazine once named Pearl Ann-Marie (or was it Pearl Annmarie?). Similar to your Mariana, no? Pearl Marianne?If you wanted to honor your sister Laura, how about Daphne? Celestine Daphne?

I'll test out Ottilie with him, our tastes in names are just not compatible and how much time we spend thinking about names is rather different too. I like Tillie ever so much, and I quite fancied it as a nn if I used Matilda. He said no way though, I'm hoping I might still be able to get it into the mn position.I'm not sure when I'll be naming a baby, so for now it is great fun to have a wonderful list without my husband spoiling things. Being the person I am though, I have to talk about the things I'm interested in and he brings me back down to earth with a thump.I love Pearl Marianne, I think Pearl has great potential actually, good instincts! I'd never thought of Daphne I think it could work.Thanks again. :)
