I want to like it, I love -et/ette names, but it almost seems like a word describing feminine body odour :/

I just love Odette! I had no idea she was so interesting. I think Odelia is beautiful and I’ve never heard it before, I think it’s going on my list! I know this is trendy, but I love O names. Odessa is my number 2 name right now, but I adore Odette, Ophelia, Opal, Olive and Olivia too. Olivia was my favorite before it got so popular, so I’d never use it now, but I think it’s probably my favorite popular name right now. Anyway, Odette is just perfect to me. Ill never get to use her because my first girl will be Lulette and that’s just too matchy for my liking… but if it weren’t for that I would use her in a heartbeat. As it stands though, I’ll probably use Odessa… but Odelia is a REALLY appealing option to me.. That could honor a Cordelia, couldn’t it?

Love, love, love Odette!
She has been on my list for a good while now.
Other “O” names that make the list are – Ophelia, Octatvia and Opal.

I think it’s pretty and I like the ballet connection. And not used much so that’s a plus.

Ah, I’m a sucker for the vowel names… and Odette is no exception. It is slightly more feminine with it’s ette ending, as Lola mentioned, which is a little lacy for me, but I still like it!

I want to like Odette, really I do. I adore the Od- (and Ot-) girls, all of them but Odette is one I can’t like enough to want to use myself. She’s a bit too light for me, I like my girls to have some heft to their names. I also generally like Opera names and by association, Ballet names.
Odette’s also got Etta nickname potential, which is another point in her favor. I should love Odette. Sadly, I do like her but not enough to consider her myself. She’d be stunning on some else’s kid, though! Odette’s neat.
