Re: How do you pronounce "Ottilie"?
I'm sorry if that was how it was interpreted, as ClaudiaS said, it is difficult to represent the sound in English due to the different pronounciations of sounds. The way I wrote out the pronounciation as "oh-TILL-ee-ay" would be how I would say it as you mean it; the accent on the TILL softens the last syllable of ay. It's a bit of a strange sound to get across in English, I hadn't really thought of it before. http://www.babynames.com/namelist/9576932 Please vote! (Not private)
