Zell Says:
Pretty name to look at, if pronounced "Otto-line" (like Caroline) though it sounds unfortunately like the phrase "out of line" to me.

PrudenceA Says:
It's definitely pronounced Otto-line, not Otto-leen.

headintheclouds Says:
I'm not a big fan of Otto or Ottilie as names, and similarly I don't really love Ottoline. I find these names overly quirky/cutesy, not very usable IRL outside of online Nameberry/blogger circles. But out of the three names, I definitely like Ottoline best. The -ine ending grounds the name and makes it more substantial than Ottilie, and makes it seem more complete than the abrupt Otto which is more of a nickname or children's book otter character in my mind. Not keen on Ottoline (or the other two), but that may change if I meet a real-life person who wears their name well? It's happened to me before.

Hum... Tottie, Lyn, Linnie, Toly, Ollie, Lin-Lin?

blueylit Says:
Any thoughts on nns beyond ottie? So far all I can think is tilly, lina or dot and I'm not massively fond of any of them...

VelvetEar Says:
Is it Ott-ah-leen or Ott-ah-line (like Caroline)?

Theodora_Phoenix Says:
I say it as OTT-ah-leen. But I don't know if that's it.

Audrey328 Says:
I'm having a hard time finding the pronunciation for this name. How would you all pronounce Ottoline?

Audrey328 Says:
I love the meaning of this name! I would consider this for a middle name.

ElsaAnne Says:
Thanks Essa! I agree that Tilly works best with Ottiline.

indiefendi2 Says:
I really need some convincing on this one. I wholeheartedly love Otto but if I have a girl I want to work it in there yet Ottoline is so clunky but not in a cute way. I'd probably use Otto for a girl if I had to.

Essa Says:
Perfect nickname that I hadn't considered. I like Tilly but it works better with the alternative spelling of Ottiline.

ElsaAnne Says:
Any thoughts on using the nickname 'Dot' for this lovely name?

bluedahlia Says:
Gorgeous name, I would use it in the middle spot.

Candler Says:
Sounds very pretty, but I would never use it,
I love this for a middle name.
