Melody nn Elodie

I don’t like [name]Elodie[/name] as much as [name]Melody[/name]. That’s way I think put [name]Melody[/name] on name certificate. When you say it, [name]Elodie[/name] is one letter shorter, nicknames on paper means little. I think I will call her [name]Melody[/name] much more then [name]Elodie[/name], just want to ask your opinion on eventual nn.

But [name]Elodie[/name] ISN’T one letter shorter, whether on paper or off the tongue. [name]Melody[/name] and [name]Elodie[/name] are both exactly six letters and three syllables.

[name]Elodie[/name] isn’t a briefer version of [name]Melody[/name], which is what a nickname is. It doesn’t make much sense to impose [name]Elodie[/name] on [name]Melody[/name] – BUT, like I said, if she decides as a child/teen/adult that [name]Melody[/name] isn’t what she likes, perhaps she’ll ask people to call her [name]Elody[/name] instead. But that would be her idea and decision and doesn’t really require any planning from you.

If what you love is [name]Melody[/name], name her that and be done with it – I just don’t see the need for [name]Elodie[/name] as a nickname given the info you’ve provided so far??

If we decide to use [name]Melody[/name] (find more names), we will definitly use nn [name]Elodie[/name]. It’s not a stretch, and IS a letter shorter:

meh-loh-dee and eh-loh-dee… you pn six letters in [name]Melody[/name] and five in [name]Elodie[/name]. Number of syllabes doesn’t matter to me.

When you write [name]Elodie[/name] and [name]Melody[/name] in paper, they have same number of letters, but that’s a NICKNAME! It’s doesn’t matter.

NN [name]Elodie[/name] is so much better than [name]Mel[/name], Lody, [name]Ody[/name], Elo or Loly/Lelo. And it’s not a stretch.

Can’t believe some women actively trying to convice me how to call my daughter informal. And nn is completely normal and not a stretch.
