Etta or Elodie

[Crazyone84]

I'm in favour of Etta, DH likes Elodie. Opinions please

I love them both but unfortunately I drop my T's so Etta would be Eh-ah so for that reason I would go with Elodie.
You probably speak properly though, lovely choices.

Both are nice - doesn't help much I know

Elodie

Elodie

or

Eloise

Both lovely names but I'm biased as we have an Elodie in the family so that's my favourite of the two

Elodie is my name that I didn't get to use from my names list so I would say go for that one

I love Elodie and wanted it on our list but couldn’t convince DH. So I’d go for that BUT I like Etta too and I think it’s probably more classic and elegant.

I love Etta. Not keen on Elodie at all

I found Etta from Etta James who I love but then looking into it, seems its an old English name. Elodie is French origin and we have no connection there. Do people still chose names depending on the place of origin?

I never comment on name threads but I love Etta! If I'd thought if it, it'd have been a contender for my dd.

Would Etholle, pronounced Etolie, be an acceptable compromise?

Elke?

I love Elodie but I think it sounds better in some accents and not so great in others. It sounds amazing in Welsh.

I adore Etta, it's on my list for bump but DH isn't convinced.

Elodie. Not keen on Etta

Etta! Beautiful...

Etta. Elodie is just the letters L O D.

I don't get the love for Elodie - it's yet another nothingy El name.
Etta is quite punchy in comparison. Check how it sounds with the surname though (Etta Lamb ...)

Etta! Elodie is a bit overdone imo.

Elodie is like someone saying L. O. D!

It’s very mimsy compared to Etta. However if you drop your Ts... !

Elodie is beautiful. Etta is meh, doesn’t sound like a real name and a big middle aged.

I love Etta is was a nickname for my friend called Henrietta (which she hated).

Elodie is a name for a middle aged woman. I'd go Etta.

I really like Etta.

I also like Elodie but not sure if I could use it as a friend has with their child.

I like Eloise too (loved the movies as a child and can't wait to share the books with DD)

Etta

I don't like Etta because of the terrorist connotations, and it doesn't sound like a full name to me. So elodie.
