I know Elodie is fairly popular on here, and I really like it as a name, however I’ve seen some negative opinions on it elsewhere.
Does anyone have an Elodie, and do you spell it as that or as Élodie? Does the name cause any issues?
I live in France, and the name was massively popular in the 80s/90s, do you think this would be an issue? Would it put you off? We’re probably going to move to England in the next 10 years or so (I’m English), so I’m not sure if it’s that important.
I only heard the name 4-5 years ago and I instantly fell in love. I have never met an [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], but I would love to.
If you love it then go for it. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband has a name that was popular for a limited time and was seen as slightly dated when he was born but it’s never caused any issues.
I have a niece called [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] and she has a [name_u]French[/name_u] and an [name_f]English[/name_f] grandmother and she has only had a couple of people who have struggled with the pronunciation the first time they saw it.
I’ve heard in [name_f]France[/name_f] it’s kind of outdated, maybe similar to [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f], [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] or [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f].
Those are the only negative opinions I’ve heard. I think it’s stunning, it reminds me of [name_f]Melody[/name_f], but [name_f]Melody[/name_f] as a name feels outdated. [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] feels fresh and spunky and pretty.
I’ve never met an [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] in the UK but always wanted to.
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous! So melodic and bubbly.
I’ve only come across one little [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] and she wore it well
I think it’s beautiful, Greyblue above described it well! 
I like it. It was on my short list.
Me!
[name_f]My[/name_f] daughter has this name. We are in the UK and it’s been getting gradually more popular for a while. No É, just thought it would make it too complicated for her. It’s always had a good reaction from people saying it’s pretty and lots who’ve never heard it but obviously may be different in [name_f]France[/name_f].
I’ve spent time living in [name_f]France[/name_f] in the past so I french-accent it sometimes but mostly it’s just said like Elle-a-dee. Occasionally she gets [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and I have to spell it for people but in general it doesn’t cause issues. We still absolutely love it and now have the difficulty of finding another we love for #2!
I like it and think it looks very pretty but wish it didn’t sound like LOD. I sort of prefer [name_f]Melody[/name_f] even though it’s a little dated. I wouldn’t use an accent. This is my US perspective though, so maybe not as relevant.
I love [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]! It’s so fresh and mellifluous.
It reminds me of [name_f]Heloise[/name_f] without being so historic a name and of melody without being so dated and risking “Mel” as a nickname.
