Thoughts on Elodie

[SherbertLemons]

Just that really.

What does everyone think of the name Elodie?

@EishetChayil I think that’s exactly PP’s point! Read the comment up thread

I love it

I love it with a french accent! Seems very popular here and I would be worried she would be Ellie.

Awful sorry but you did ask.

I think its wet sounding

Very pretty name.

Love it!

Lovely if pronounced properly the French way, but sounds dreadful in most British accents (the one I know is ella-day).

Bland and twee.

@Chunkymenrock

I just hear L. O. D.

Same

I like it. It's a bit of a subtle nature name as well, as it's the name of a type of Lily

Go for Elodie - don't listen to other people!!

Also I happen to love the name Elodie but bear in mind no name is liked by everyone - go for a name you love.

Quite like it (depending on the accent where you live), but there are so many El names about, she will likely end up one of a zillion Ellies and that would put me off.

DS3 and DIL have chosen this if DGC is a girl. At first I thought she would spend her old life saying "like Melody but without the M"ut it has grown on me!

Yet another Ellie. Elodie is like Amelie, middle-aged in France, where the name sounds much prettier. Dull.

Absolutely gorgeous. Looks lovely and sounds lovely.

But OP has asked for our thoughts!

But the OP asked other people what they thought. Personally I'm not telling people unsolicited that I think Elodie is boring name, but as the OP asked I answered.

Thank you for all your input so far everyone.

All opinions welcome!

I know there is an abundance of 'EL" names but, after analysing the names I seem to like I'd say 80% of them start with these two letters. I'm not overly bothered by popularity, although I'm not a fan of "Ellie" just because of an association.

I like the nickname "Elle". In fact this is mine and DPs favourite but it doesn't go with our choice of boys name. We would use it if we had a second girl.

For what it matters we have a Home Counties accent. I agree the name does sound far more beautiful in a French accent but I do pronounce it the French way (without putting on an accent!). I guess it's much the same as Esme which is very popular now and a French name.

It's on my top, three I think. My only "fear" is that it may be very of now and may date.

It's a lovely name

Bit nothingy.

Oh and yes it will date, it will be yet another 'Ellie' name.

Going to buck the trend here: can’t stand it. Don’t like how it looks or sounds. Feels too whimsical to be the name of a grown up.

That's not really bucking the trend. I imagine lots of people hate it
