Etta or Elodie

[Crazyone84]

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

Elodie is gorgeous, beautiful name.

Etta is the opposite, ugly and harsh. Sorry, I know you like it, OP.

Etta

Love Etta, Hate Elodie

Etta / Ettie

Love Etta, and very much like Elodie. Etta sounds more timeless and sophisticated to me.

Elodie gets my vote xx

I don’t like either. It’s a matter of which is least worst.
Elodie is another Amelie-type name.
Etta feels like a half-name. It has some energy about it, which is a plus point.

Love Etta not Elodie

I like them both and find most El names attractive Elodie, Eloise, Elowen, Eliza, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Elaine. None are overly frilly or fancy. With that said there are currently 6 El names in the top 100 and around 15 names beginning with E altogether.

Etta is really sweet.

Lottie, Charlotte, Scarlett and Harriet are also top 100 atm.
Loretta? Annette, Jeanette. Betsy?

Etta is lovely

Etta definitely, was on our list but with our surname I was worried it might sound like ate a...
I love it though. Not a fan of elodie sounds like ploddy and is just a bit drab

I don't like Etta, maybe as it makes me think of ETA, the terrorist group. Sounds very harsh.

I like Elodie, makes me think of melody.

Etta is much stronger I think. Good name.

Etta by a long way

Elodie or Eloise

Elodie is lovely. Etta doesn’t sound nice in my accent so I’m not fond of it personally.

I love Elodie but my DH said no 🙄 that is a clear favourite from me

Eloise. It’s not a name I would use myself by I prefer by far to Etta.

*Elodie

Autocorrect thinks you should opt for Eloise apparently

Elodie

I love the idea of Etta, but I prefer Elodie.

Definitely Elodie. Don't like the sound of Etta.

Etta. Eloidie is a terrible name. She’ll end up yet another Ella

Why would Elodie end up Ella? I’ve never known Ella be short for anything? Ellie perhaps but it’s not inevitable
