WDYT of Odette?

[wisteria12]

I just wondered.

Never thought of / heard of it before but now you mention it, I quite like it.

Like it.

I was at school with an Odette. Nice.

Not my bag I'm afraid. Reminds me of odema...

I don't really like it, sorry. It starts with Od, which reminds me of "odd".

Claudette is nicer IMO.

Just read the swan lake story with Odette and Odile - v nice!

I was at school with an Odette! And an Odile - same year.

What are the chances of that?

Lovely Swan Lake connotations...

yy Claudette is much much nicer.

There's something about any name beginning with "Clau" that puts me off, for some reason. Each to their own, though!

I quite like Odette......name of a french WW2 heroine.

Not liking Claude/tte at all, either.

I prefer/really like the name Collette and this seems along same lines??

Collette reminds me of Gillette. The best a man can get.

Will be called Oddie

Oh no - Collette and Odette are not the same at all!

Indeed 5Dollar, Collette and Odette are very different sorts of names in my book as well. I come down in the Odette camp.

Olette
Lisette
Ottily
Myrtle

Actually, Odette is rather growing on me

brain malfunction - Otillie, obviously.

Colliecross - I highly doubt it. You don't pronounce Harry like Hairy do you?

DrivenToDistraction - Glad you're coming round. I've never heard of Olette before, it just reminds me of Glee; "It's just a moist towelette!" Similarly not keen on any of the others, especially Myrtle; bad connotations from The Great Gatsby and, of course, HP.

Sorry, I just had to post this; www.moisttowelettemuseum.com/

You've lost me Wisteria, what has Hairy Harry to do with it?

I love Odette. Nicknamed Dot (but then I like verything nicknamed Dot :P )

No, but I am french, it is a french name, very dated not nice at all, I wonder if it has ever been nice. Odile is awful too.

I am wondering if some people think it is pronounced Odd-ette, as opposed to O-dette?

I think this is what Wisteia means by the Harry/Hairy differentiation.

Swan lake!
But it's also my grand mother. It feels a bit strange but I can see the appeal.
I like Odile better, or Laurette. I also have cousin named Aude.
