What would a girl called Odette look like?

[BoyMeetsWorld]

Need to settle a debate with DH. We have drastically different opinions about this name.

So go for it please & describe your imaginary Odette...

[Shattereddreams]

Mine isn't imaginary. I went to school with one

Tall, lanky, greasy skin and hair. Sorry!

[PoppyAmex]

I'm from Southern Europe, where this name is fairly common, so my experiences will be different from yours.

With that caveat...

Odette is middle aged, wears her hair "set" with tons of hairspray, has a very ample bosom and red nails.

[VivaLeBeaver]

She'd look French.

Brunette, slim, pale.

[runningonwillpower]

Well, she'd be tall and slender. Dark haired and definitely striking but not necessarily pretty. And she'd be well snooty.

I don't think I would be friends with Odette.

[sittinginthesun]

Dark haired, angular Parisian girl.

[ninah]

fat with pale skin and blue eyes

[98percentchocolate]

My DD is an Odette - long dark hair, nice skin and features - beautiful! (But then I am biased!)

[LesAnimaux]

I knew an Odette. She had black hair and dark skin. Very Asian looking, but was South African. She slept with my boyfriend (who was cocklodging living in my flat) and when I asked her if she had slept with him, she told me it was none of my business.

I called her Odious Odette after that.

That is the one and only experience of this name...I'm sure there are some lovely Odettes out there. Personally I'd go for Ottilie.

(Did I over answer the question?)

[FrancesFarmer]

Proustian!

[Marlinspike]

Petite, dark, vivacious, stylish ... a hint of the Audrey Hepburn about her.

As a negative she can be capricious and spiteful.

[Happiestinwellybobs]

French looking, brunette, short hair, angular features, tres chic! But imagine she will be quite insular and hard to get to know.

[austenozzy]

I knew an Odette. She's Portuguese, dark hair, petite, pretty - and a very forthright woman! Great laugh, but don't piss her off... :-)

[takeaway2]

Beautiful. She goes to school with
My son and she's v sweet, smart and polite.

[SugarandSpice126]

fat, dumpy, and very unlike able! As with every name, at least some people are going to know a horrible person with that name! It's why I hate "simon", "mark", "john", "sophie" - it's hard not to connect them with the people you know!

[TolliverGroat]

Pretty, dark, slender.

[RakeABedOfTyneFilth]

Long necked, very pale, almost completely white, and powerful yet apparently serene. Has a dark side.

[PistachioTruffle]

My imaginary Odette is pretty, long blonde hair and fair skinned. Quite feminine and girly in style and appearance.

[bugsybill]

I think of a young girl, quiet, shy, pale skin, dark straight long hair an freckles.

[bugsybill]

I think of a young girl, quiet, shy, pale skin, dark straight long hair and freckles. With a musical/artistic streak.

[Thurlow]

Sturdy.

[beachesandbuckets]

Fat and from the Deep South, likes fried food and lives in a trailer.

[ninah]

yes, beaches! def a fat name
cries big fat tears, too

[mikkii]

My cousin is called Odette. I haven't seen her in about 35 years.

She was, quite petite, dark skinned with dark hair.

[nulgirl]

Like someone's gran. According to my French husband it would be like calling a child the french equivalent of Jean or Hilda

[JassyRadlett]

I always get a mental image of Odette Churchill/Hallowes, so that's my association.
