I have my little [name_f]Olenna[/name_f]! She’s 9 months old almost now and I’ve gotten TONS of compliments on her name. It’s really well received across the board, we even met an adult [name_f]Olena[/name_f] who is a local health nurse! However she said, and I’ve noticed too, people mispronounce it A LOT. Instead of Oh-Len-Nah, people read it as Oh-Lee-nah, and often hear [name_f]Alina[/name_f] when I say it even if I enunciate very clearly!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Olenna[/name_f] [name_f]Fable[/name_f] and [name_f]Olenna[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] are beautiful, names I would have considered myself if we hadn’t honoured my Dad in the middle as a priority!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Odessa[/name_f] was a name we strongly considered, I still love it and ultimately we decided against it because the Ukrainian city is Odesa and the Russian spelling is the double s, and with the war there, we felt it a touch tone deaf at the time. [name_f]Odessa[/name_f] [name_f]Fable[/name_f] is something out of a fairy tale! [name_f]Gorgeous[/name_f]!

[name_f]Odelia[/name_f] isn’t favourite of mine, reminds me of the word Odious, I prefer similar [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. [name_f]Odelia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is very sweet though!
