WDYT of Odette?

[wisteria12]

I just wondered.

5DollarShake - Yeah, that's what I meant, I wasn't feeling too coherent yesterday...

Interesting reactions, overall. I can see why you might not like it. I already have a Celeste so it might be a French step too far! I just think French girl's names are so gorgeous.

Yup I thought it was Odd-ette. I did learn ballet but in Lincolnshire!

an odd little french girl

A debt.

Snap on Celeste, I don't think Odette goes at all with it.

Love it but hubby days def no - & he's french

I used to know an Odette. It never got shortened to anything. It's nice, though definitely associated with the French - my mate had French ancestry.

I like it

It is a very dated French name. I don't think it will ever come back.

Makes me think of SOE operative Odette.

Nice pretty name

Much prefer Odelia.

Makes me think of the chain of bars in Manchester - there are three - Odd, Odder, Oddest.

She shagged my boyfriend, then told me it was non of my business when I politely asked him if she had. Actually, it was my business, because I needed to know whether to throw him out of my flat or not.

Ottily is much, much nicer.

Asked her.

He confirmed it. Which is why we never married and made babies.

I love it, I know an Odette. I think Celeste and Odette are lovely together too.

It is true that Odette is outdated, but it might be just old enough to start coming back. The Odettes I know are in their sixties, and from rural places. I love Ottilie (which is Odile in german) because of that fantastic novel by Goethe, it is very romantic to me.Odile is a nice name, but definitely from the 1960's in France.

It's my middle name - I love it and wish it were my first name. It goes beautifully with Celeste - you have gorgeous taste :)

It's good! If you like it and say it confidently, it will work.

Not sure. What about Odessa? I know 2 people (they are related) called Odessa, they are 60 and 20 something. They both really like their name.

I prefer Odile

PidjChick would have been Odette nn Etta if he weren't a boy. Odile is the evil one iirc!

I'm saving it in case of PidjChick II

Darn Sarf here it's pronounced Oh-Debt if that helps...
