None of them are names I'd use personally but it's nice to see Octavia (especially Octavia Holly Frances) and Ophelia. I've been lurking on the baby name board of Mumsnet for a few weeks (mainly used by middle class, yummy-mummy types as far as I can tell) and I've seen a few discussions about Orla and Ottilie lately. I think Ottilie is going to be the next big trend among the middle and upper classes. Never seen Ottilia before though.Olivia Elizabeth is too much of a mouthful in my opinion, doesn't flow at all. And I know certain types of people like to pass on the mother's maiden name as a middle name but Wyldbore - lol!

I actually don't really like any of the listed. Phoebe Beatrice is decent, though the flow of it could have been better.- Francesca

Amelia (it always makes me think of Joni Mitchell singing "Oh Amelia, it was just a false alarm..." ;)
Johanna - I LOVE Johanna, although it's very common here
Elenita
Thea - musician Thea Gilmore just RAWKS
Charlotte - I have an aunt Charlotte, but everybody calls her Lotta, which is kind of boring, I thinkPrincess is so...blah. Sounds like a chihuahua.
