Elodie or Phoebe?

[Lora69]

As title suggests really!

Sibling (not yet born) likely to be Henry

phoebe for sure

phoebe

I love Bee so much, and Pheebs is a nice alternative too

Elodie- like Dee and Loddie maybe? Brothers OH is Ellie so no to Elle/Ellie!

I love Elodie

Phoebe.

No matter how hard you try, Elodie will be shortened to Ellie or Elle. And Phoebe is a beautiful name.

Elodie is my favourite
I've heard it shortened to Loddie and Dolly

phoebe

Elodie is lovely and more unusual.

Phoebe much nicer.

Elodie

LOL; Phoebe, Elodie, Phoebe, Elodie, Phoebe, Elodie, Phoebe, Elodie!!

Looks like it has split opinion!

Love them both Elodie pips it (but becoming popular)

I love that Elodie sounds so like melody.

Elodie is pretty, but I much prefer Phoebe, personally.

I like both, my cousins new baby daughter is Phoebe

Neither.

Phoebe is yawnsomely faddy.

Elodie is nice enough if you're French. If you're not, then 99% of English accents slaughter it. (ditto Amelie)

Thanks Bucharest, but I will be going with one of them. I dont expect everyone to like both/either, but just wanted to see which of the 2 was best liked!

I have liked Phoebe for 10 years, so not faddy to me ;)

Phoebe. we have one. lovely. (known as Fee or Bee generally). (often misspelt though).

Not sure how to pronounce Elodie tbh.

Phoebe.

I think there is an interesting Welsh name Eluned. Saw it in the name book. If it's pronounced how I think it's pronounced I like it.

Elodie sounds to me like trying to say 'Melody' with a cold

Lora - I've just heard a 6 year old girl named Elodie called Eddie by her family.Her brother couldn't pronounce it when he was very young and the nickname has remained.

I'd go with Phoebe. Elodie is very pretty though but some might construe it as trying too hard to be different.
