Odette

[LizzyMargaret]

Thoughts? We already have an Aurora, aged 3. I know they’re both names of princesses and from ballet so I’m concerned that using them as sibling names will be a bit... twee?

Other name suggestions are appreciated for a girl and boy. Middle names for Odette too as we’re struggling.

Thanks, Liz x

Beautiful name and the combination is wonderful. How about a flower for the middle name? And Ottilie as an alternative first name?

I really like them. I don't think they're twee.

Makes me think of Odette Churchill, the wartime SOE spy.

Lovely! Both nice names and will go nice together.

Complements Aurora beautifully! Not twee at all. Love them both. Memorable and unique for both girls also. Good taste OP!

I was honestly expecting negative reactions!

@FoggyDay58 I like Ottilie, thank you. Viola is just about the only middle name I can think of for Odette right now so flower names might be worth checking out.

Love Odette! I think it goes nicely with Aurora.

Have you considered Claudette? It's a similar sound but I prefer it to the 'odd' sound.

Odette is lovely.

I like Odette.

Also, Yvette which is slightly softer sounding.

I know a little Odette. I like it.

I absolutely love Odette. Definitely use it!

Lovely name , also like Manon.

Possible flower names for a middle besides Viola:

Odette Lily
Odette Rosina
Odetta Florentina

Sorry, I think they are very twee together just because of the ballet link. But I’m not sure how many people will pick up on that. I like Odette, though. It has some strength about it.

Does Odette have an Odd sound? (To a pp)

I pronounce it O-Debt not Odd-et

Is that right?

Either way they match really nicely

I love Odette it's beautiful, so is Odile.

Beautiful, both Odette and Aurora are gorgeous names. For middle names how about

Odette Joy
Odette Margarite

I think it looks nice written down but is it pronounced "oh-debt"? (best I could go phonetically). If that's how it's pronounced I think it's awful

The only Odettes I know (France) are 60 plus. It is a very old fashioned name.

It’s pronounced Oh-Deht or Aw-Deht. No odd sound in it.

Odette is gorgeous, and goes beautifully with Aurora.

I love the name Odette.

I know a 40-something Odette.

Ottilie is a good call too (I know a 4 yr old ottilie)

It’s ok but Ottilie was on my list.

For some reason, Ursula has popped into my mind, which isn’t similar at all.

I like Odette and worked with a lovely Odile once.
