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

[Greensleeves]

Elodie

what connotations does it have, if any?

No. I just think there's an 'm' missing.

Makes it rather a dramatic name though, doesn't it, Cali?

I am started my campaign on subtely brianwashing my eldest son to name any daughter he might have Eloise. We have the books named after her and I mentioned it once when he talked about being a daddy one day. Although he thinks he is marrying his baby brother (being married he said means you don't have any other freinds!) and I will be the mummy. So, still some way to go. Must play the song more and introduce him to medieval french religious history.

I have an Eloise, I was torn between that and Elise. She's usually Ellie though.

No, as it would remind me of Elodia, which is the biological name for pond weed.

Sorry

really? I would have been one of those mothers who insisted on the full name at all times. Not that I hate Ellie but I would have called my mythical dd Eleanor if I had wanted her to be called Ellie. I also like Elise and Edie and Evie and Eve and bizarrely Elsie too.

I agree that it sounds like an M is mising.

And I am not sure I would like it any better if the M were there.

Love Elodie! Very pretty name and one I have considered

NN could be Ella or Odie, love it!

She will end up as Ellie which is over used

Ellie just seems to suit her at the moment, msappropriate although I think she'll grow into Eloise. Funnily me & my sisters have always been called the shortened versions of our names and both my kids are usually shortened. I do sometimes wonder why I gave her such a pretty name only to promptly shorten it, though.

this is odie from Grafield!

Not odie!

I don't think children always end up as their diminutives. My son hasn't (no one hsa even tried yet) and I know a few teenagers like that too. Unless the kids themselves like the diminutives.

odie

what like body odie?

Elodie is a lovely name

elodie is indeed a lovely name.

LOD for short v useful for texting.

i was my full name at school, but always diminutive at home. i am also dimin. as an adult, mainly because i associate the full version with school.

Its best said in a french accent (then so are most things!)

How is jago prounounced? Yahgo?
