Elodie -a few questions

What are everyone’s thoughts on the name [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]? Also, how do you pronounce it? Any middle name suggestions? I think I want something shorter, but a little spunky and unexpected, if that makes sense. For example, [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f] came to mind, I think I really like that one! And lastly, do you know anyone with this name?

I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]! I pronounce it [name_f]Ell[/name_f]-Oh-[name_f]Dee[/name_f]. I think [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation is more like A-lo-dee (A like in cake). The combo [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f] is super cute! :slight_smile:

I named my car [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

I went through an early stage of thinking it was the stupidest name alive, and then I really liked it after seeing someone with the name on some TV show (Leverage, I think?). Then I got bored with it (and hated the thought that she’d be fated with the nn [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], which I honestly can’t stand), and now I can appreciate it; I think it suits my car perfectly. I don’t know that I’d use it, and I’m still scared off by [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], but I do think it’s a pretty name. I think most Americans will say ell-oh-dee or ella-dee, but I think in [name_m]French[/name_m], the proper pronunciation is AY-loh-dee, because of the accent over the first “E”. I call my car Liddy, but I think [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], and [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] are cute for it, too. My car’s full name is [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], which I really like. When it had been on my list for an actual little person, I had liked [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. [name_m]Both[/name_m] are family names for me (although I wasn’t intentionally naming my car after family, hahaha). I think something like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Giselle[/name_f], or [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] would be lovely, too.

Firstly I absolutely [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the name [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f].
I pronounce it [name_f]Elle[/name_f]-oh-dee.
I think the spunky middle name adds charm to it and kind of complements the cutesy-ness of [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] as it does not go into too girly territory.

I love the name [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]… But [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f] is cute and unexpected at the same time.
If I can think of any short names like [name_f]Wren[/name_f] I’ll get back to you, but I do love this name.

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f] is adorable! [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] is pronounced [name_f]Ell[/name_f]-oh-dee, just so you know. I would keep [name_f]Wren[/name_f] as the middle name, and I don’t think you need any suggestions. [name_f]Wren[/name_f] is perfect. :slight_smile:

Thanks everyone for your opinions! I love this name, but the pronunciation kind of throws me off a bit, I guess you could say. I met someone with the name and she says it like ell-uh-dee (ok, I’m horrible at writing pronunciations out!!) And I know a lot of people say it’s said like [name_f]Melody[/name_f] with out the M, but again that sounds like ell-uh-dee to my ears. Is it wrong to say it that way verses ell-oh-dee?

Also I’m glad to hearing positive feedback on [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f], I really do love that combo!

[name_f]Love[/name_f] the name [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]!
I recently met a baby girl named [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

It’s pronounced like melody minus the M. I think it’s a really cute name. I like a lot of the suggestions for middle names above, but [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f] is gorgeous. Go with your gut!

I like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] a lot. It is on my long list, and it’s on my hubby’s short list. It is pronounced like melody without he m. I like the nn Loddie.
I would use [name_f]Belle[/name_f] as a mn, because that is my grandma’s mn. [name_f]Wren[/name_f] is a very spunky choice.

I so want to love this name, but when I say it aloud it sounds like [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-dee ([name_f]Melody[/name_f] sounds like [name_f]Mella[/name_f]-dee). I have a flat [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m]/[name_m]New[/name_m] [name_f]England[/name_f] accent, so it could be a regional thing.

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] was on our list as #1 for the first 7 months of my pregnancy but as time went on, I got tired of people saying “Oh, like [name_f]Melody[/name_f] without the M.” Naturally I quickly veteod the name and we went back to square one :wink: but it is a lovely name.

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] is my favourite name, if I ever have a daughter her name will be [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] for sure!
Here are some cute combos:
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]

Thanks everyone for the opinions and middle name suggestions! [name_f]Love[/name_f] hearing feedback, good and bad :slight_smile:

very pretty name…the “E” also has an accent over it in the [name_m]French[/name_m] spelling.

[name_f]Aurelie[/name_f], [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], and [name_f]Magali[/name_f] are similar sounding [name_m]French[/name_m] names that I like.

I pronounce it ell-oh-dee. I prefer Alodia or [name_f]Elodia[/name_f].
