Odette for a little girl, yes or no?

I like it.

Blacksox · 21/12/2016 21:20

I would've loved it as a 14 year old balletophile.

Now? Not so much!

It's gorgeous and I considered if for my DDs.

Showgirl109 · 21/12/2016 21:35

Love

Like it!

CakeRattleandRoll · 21/12/2016 23:38

Love it.

Joinourclub · 21/12/2016 23:39

Pretty

Beautiful Smile

BertrandRussell · 21/12/2016 23:41

Yes for a little girl. But you are naming a teenager, a middle aged woman and an old woman as well. So- maybe not.

bobbinpop · 21/12/2016 23:44

Yes! Lovely

PlymouthMaid1 · 21/12/2016 23:47

Yes I like it in theory but suspect that when older they will change their name rather like my Mum who has been known as Lyn for the past forty plus years rather than Eunice.

ProudBadMum · 21/12/2016 23:49

I love the Swan Princess so just for that yes

choppolata · 21/12/2016 23:51

I think spy rather than swan, either way I like it!

1horatio · 22/12/2016 00:25

Lovely.

But I also like Odile, Ottilie, Ottilia.

I do think I prefer Ottilie/a, tbh. Sounds less pincess-y and a bit more grownup imo.

MollyHuaCha · 22/12/2016 00:34

Nice name.

WispyWindy · 22/12/2016 00:39

Lovely. I know an adult odette and she is a strong, independent, successful, confident woman and it really suits her. I don't think of it as a particularly childish name.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 22/12/2016 00:44

I love it was on our initial list for our dd's. Partly because of the ballet connection partly because one of the most wonderful women I've ever known has that name. Personally I think it works for all ages.

Diamondsandpurls · 22/12/2016 00:52

Seriously strange coincidence, was listening to a podcast yesterday and woman was called odette, I thought how lovely it was.

WyeNot · 22/12/2016 00:54

I think it would depend on the baby - it's a very strong sounding name in my opinion and would need to suit the little person when you see their face. But in principle, I like Odette as a name.

Staranise123 · 22/12/2016 07:17

Lovely name! Beautiful and not overused.

Staranise123 · 22/12/2016 07:18

I don't find it strong sounding at all, i find it very feminine esp the ette ending.

thedragonflyinn · 22/12/2016 07:26

Very pretty

TynesideBlonde · 22/12/2016 07:45

Love it. It was on my list. Strong and elegant. Etta for short

WyeNot · 22/12/2016 07:52

I think a name can be both strong and feminine, strong doesn't necessarily have to mean masculine.
