Do you like the name.......

[Greensleeves]

Elodie

what connotations does it have, if any?

how would that be pronounced?

No

is very pretty - is it pronounced El oh dee ?

Yes it is very pretty and I know an Elodie, a lovely girl.

It is pronounced as above, ellodee

no

i quite like it, and I never like the names on this type of thread.

Not too keen personally. It's not an ugly name, quite pretty - but I think it would be Ellie for most of her childhood and for some reason I really don't like that name (with due apologies to the many people I have just offended)

Not for me I'm afraid, although I do like Ellie

Is this friend a certain MN personality?

I love it

so would it be like Melody without the M?

quite pretty but not really to my liking

i love it

I think it is a pretty name. I have only ever come across the name once. My sister went to school with a girl who had a younger sister called Elodie. The other two sisters were Esme & Elise, so all E names!

Yes, pronounced like Melody but without the M

It sounds French, I think.

Elodie is quite a popular name in France.

Umm quite like but WHAT a pita for the child who will spend her entire life spelling it out for people

Elodie is a lovely name.

I do think it's something that I would only consider if I/DH were French or if we had French connections somehow. I think it sounds a little boden if they are not French (or do not have any links to France).

think she will be mistaken for Melodie a lot

common in france but no not keen as not keen on Ellie

I don't like it but I do rather like Melody.

yes I do and Eloise too.

Eloise is a fab name - and of course a fab song!

cirkey melody is horror imho
i like meadow (as in soprano)

sorry but i just hear 'BillOddie' when i say it
but if he didnt exist then i would like it
