Is Elodie always Ellie

[Ceebs85]

I love Elodie but worry she would just become another Ellie as a nickname. Any experience?

I had a friend called Elody- we called her "Del" or "Dellie".

It would never occur to me to shorten Elodie to Ellie. Dellie is quite sweet, as is Elo.

I know one elodie who is always elodie - no shortening.

Could be Del? Dellie?

I have an Eloise and was concerned she’d be an Ellie, however she’s been Weez since she could speak as that’s what she called herself

I know an Elodie with the nn Lola

I wouldn’t think an Elodie would be nicknamed Ellie. As mentioned above Elo prn Ello seems more likely.

I think Elle or Lodi would be the most likely nicknames to appear in school. I had a friend named Eloise which is similar, but she was always Elle or just Eloise.

I know 3 (!). One is always Elodie, one is always Ellie and one is Elodie or Edie...

I know 2 Elodies and neither shorten their names. I would associate Ellie more with Eleanor to be honest.

My aunty Elodie is Deedee.

Could just be Dee.

Names don't have to be shortened. I wouldn't shorten Elodie at all, it's so easy to pronounce

No. Just as Eleanor isn't always shortened to Ellie. I know quite a few Eleanor's and none of them are Ellie.

I'd automatically think Ellie or Elle

Hopefully the parent would put you straight then chezmk1988

I know two Elodies. One always called Elodie. The other is always called Ellie/Elle, and I only found out recently it was short for Elodie.

I don't think Elodie will automatically become Ellie, but you can't prevent it. My parents gave me a name without any obvious nicknames, but I'm still mainly known by my nickname!

It would occur to me to shorten Elody to Ellie. It’s like Elouise wouldn’t be Ellie.
