One of my cousins has a daughter named Ottilie, called Tilly. I like it, in its way, though I can see how it is frilly for some people's tastes. Tilly's siblings are Sophrona and Frank.

There is an older English children's comic called Rupert, about a polar bear (Rupert) and his friends, one of whom is Ottoline the otter. I tend to put te two together in my head! The association is actually pleasant.
