Middle name help

We have a newborn we have named Elodie but have not decided on a middle name yet.

What do you think of
Elodie Anna? Does it sound too much like 'ello Diana?! Or am I over thinking it?

I was almost set on Elodie Wren but when we have announced her first name to people, most have not heard of Elodie and seem to think it is very unusual so I think adding Wren may be a step to far.

Isabel / Isobel is another contender. Can you think and anything else?

Surname is one syllable and sounds like Hill.

I don't think it sounds like 'ello Diana as Elodie ends in a 'dee' sound and Diana starts with a 'dye' sound.

I like Anna the best as a middle name.

I vote Anna as well.

I think Elodie Anna is lovely. Elodie Isobel is gorgeous too. I don't think 'ello diana is something you should be worrying about, so if Anna is your favourite then go for it!

I think Elodie Wren is better or Elodie Anne. I think you need a one syllabul middle. Elodie Anna sounds a bit like Indiana when said as a whole.

Congratulations on your newborn, Elodie is a sweet name and I think Anna goes beautifully, Bear.

Prefer Isobel out of your choices but Anna is nice too.

Elodie Clare
Elodie Rae
Elodie Rose
Elodie Kate

Aha, I wouldn't even have noticed :P Elodie Anna is lovely :)
Elodie is quite popular these days, so there's no reason why anyone around your daughter's age would find it unusual. Elodie Wren is lovely too :)

Elodie Isabel I don't think sounds right, personally. 3-3 syllables, maybe.

Love Wren! I would go with that.

Sorry yes sounds way to much like " ello diana" Wren is lovely and people will get used to the names.
