Thoughts on the name Odette

Name Advice

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone,

I like the name [name_f]Odette[/name_f] for our little girl coming in a few weeks. [name_m]Can[/name_m] people share their thoughts on it?

I was thinking to put [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] as a second name.

[name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]

I also had [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Viviana[/name_f], [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], [name_f]Violeta[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_f]Mattea[/name_f].

For context, I am from [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]Zealand[/name_u] and my husband is Chilean.

[name_f]My[/name_f] criteria for a name is something vintage sounding, pronounced the same in Spanish and [name_f]English[/name_f], has a formal and nickname version.

Sounds lovely. I think of swans.

[name_f]Odette[/name_f] is lovely - sharp but sweet! [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is balanced and pretty, stylish and sleek!

I love [name_f]Odette[/name_f]! It goes really well with big brothers’ names, too!

Odette is positively darling!

The only thing is that Odette relatively nickname-resistant. If you want a nickname, Didi, Dottie, and Odie are options.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] Odette!!! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite nickname for her is [name_f]Dot[/name_f] & Detta (I also think [name_u]Otter[/name_u] is a cute at-home nickname but it’s kinda a stetch and definitely might not be your cup of tea haha!)

Best of luck to you :four_leaf_clover:
