[Opinions] OTMA (+ A)
As most of you probably knew, Emperor Nicholas II of Russia had four daughters, grand duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia, and a son, Tsarevich Alexei. The daughters were often referred with an acronym OTMA, which was built from the first letter of each girl's name in the order of their births.If you had four daughters and a son with initials O, T, M, A and A, what would their names be? You can add them any middle names you like, but the first names should start with the letters mentioned.My OTMA + A sibset would be:Olga Johanna - Yes, Olga! It was my great-grandmother's name.

I really like the combo Anton Kasimir!I also used OTMAA for the middle names, but in a different order (TOAMA). I wouldn't actually use double letter initials in real life though. Olwen Titania

Aleksei Lysander Kit (option 1 was Artemus, but that obviously couldn't work, and Aleksei happened to be next).
Olympia, Talitha, Morgana, Artemis, & Aleksei.Odessa, Trixie, Merida, Amadea, & August was a close second.

Those firsts are all brilliant! I can even get over the Ora spelling in this case. Such lovely combos too.

What other spellings are there?

I spell it Aura to avoid the 'Oral' connection. I don't much like the look.
