I need some help naming twin girls! So far the only names my husband and I can agree on are [name]Odette[/name] and [name]Yvette[/name]. Obviously we don’t want to use both ( way too matchy!), but we can’t decide on which we prefer better, or think of any other names for the other baby.
I would love to hear which of [name]Odette[/name] or [name]Yvette[/name] you prefer, and what names you would suggest for a twin sister for either.
Thankyou!
[name]Julia[/name] 
[name]Odette[/name] is my favorite of the two names. I do like [name]Yvette[/name] also but I do think [name]Odette[/name] is fresher.
I like both but think I prefer [name]Odette[/name]. As a twin to [name]Odette[/name] or [name]Yvette[/name], what about-
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Eula[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Margot[/name]
[name]Mercy[/name]
[name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Portia[/name]
[name]Xanthe[/name]
[name]Odette[/name]! Absolutely! It has so many things in its favor. The ballet tie. The cool “O” beginning. The “et” ending. It’s a very classy yet cool name.
[name]Yvette[/name] is okay, but seems more dated to me. Maybe it’s just me. [name]Odessa[/name] is also a rockin’ name.
Let’s see for twins:
[name]Odette[/name] and [name]Eve[/name]?
[name]Odette[/name] and [name]Clara[/name]?
[name]Odette[/name] and [name]Isla[/name]?
[name]Odette[/name] and [name]Gemma[/name]?
I’m just not sure.
I think I prefer [name]Odette[/name] to [name]Yvette[/name]. It sounds more fresh to me. Here are some suggestions for [name]Odette[/name]'s sibling.

I have a cousin (funny, most lovely upbeat person you’d ever hope to meet) with the middle name [name]Yvette[/name]. I really like [name]Yvette[/name], but… I do like [name]Odette[/name] a bit more.
I prefer [name]Odette[/name]. Very pretty.
Good luck!
I have a real soft spot for [name]Yvette[/name], I just love the sound of it. [name]Odette[/name] is also beautiful, especially with the Swan [name]Lake[/name] association, but I prefer [name]Yvette[/name].
I really like [name]Yvette[/name].
[name]Odette[/name] by a long shot!
I have always loved [name]Yvette[/name] and grew up with someone named this, although she spelled it [name]Evette[/name]. For a twin sister, how about:
[name]Delia[/name] - not with [name]Odette[/name] but works with [name]Yvette[/name] ([name]Yvette[/name] and [name]Delia[/name])
[name]Corinne[/name] - [name]Odette[/name] and [name]Corinne[/name], [name]Yvette[/name] and [name]Corinne[/name]
[name]Adele[/name] - love with [name]Yvette[/name]/[name]Evette[/name] - [name]Evette[/name] and [name]Adele[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name] - [name]Odette[/name] and [name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Noemi[/name] - [name]Odette[/name] and [name]Noemi[/name], [name]Yvette[/name] and [name]Noemi[/name]
[name]Cecily[/name] - [name]Odette[/name] and [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Evette[/name] and [name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Elise[/name] - love with [name]Odette[/name] - [name]Elise[/name] and [name]Odette[/name]
[name]Sylvie[/name] - too similar in sound to [name]Yvette[/name] but works with [name]Odette[/name] - [name]Odette[/name] and [name]Sylvie[/name]
I like both of these. [name]Yvette[/name] doesn’t really have any advantage over [name]Yvonne[/name], though. Maybe that’s because the “on” sound is actually the more distinctive ending. There are a lot of names that end schwa-n, but I tend to like those that are clearly “an” or “en” or “on”. Incidentally, though [name]Odette[/name] and [name]Yvette[/name] wouldn’t be good as twins, I can’t see why [name]Odette[/name] and [name]Yvonne[/name] wouldn’t.
Okay, looking up those names together… of people named [name]Odette[/name] [name]Yvonne[/name] or [name]Yvonne[/name] [name]Odette[/name], the best-known appears to be [name]Odette[/name] [name]Laure[/name], and I don’t know how much that association would occur to an English speaker?
I prefer [name]Odette[/name], [name]Yvette[/name] sounds middle aged to me. I would love the [name]Evie[/name] nn you could get from it though, and I guess [name]Odette[/name] could be [name]Etta[/name] though it’s a bit of a stretch.
What do you think of [name]Evenie[/name]? I adore [name]Evenie[/name] and think [name]Odette[/name] and [name]Evenie[/name] would be gorgeous together. [name]Evenie[/name] is a variation of [name]Yvonne[/name] (smilar to [name]Yvette[/name]) via the French [name]Evonne[/name]. [name]Odette[/name] and [name]Evonne[/name] would be cute too.
Other names that are similar to [name]Yvette[/name] are [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Eveline[/name], [name]Evelyn[/name] or [name]Eva[/name].
Best of luck!
Absolutely [name]Odette[/name]! It’s romantic and exotic, while [name]Yvette[/name] sounds dated and doesn’t look as pretty.
[name]Odette[/name]! love it!
