This is for people who don't like the name "Odette"

I love this name, but I am curious...for the people who do NOT like it. Why do you not like it, and what does it make you think of? I wont be offended, just trying to think of the name from all angles. Be brutally honest.

Sounds alittle too old fashioned for me. Almost too medieval.

Doesn't sound cute to me.

Something about names ending in Ette idk

It sounds like a little old lady to me. Its not awful, thats just my first thought only because ive never met an odette. Same thing with the name Ethel or Gladys

An Odette was my landlady once and she was so classy and sweet

ToadetteđŸ˜©

I love it too

To be brutally honest when i think of the name Odette, I imagine an older woman with smokers cough and she runs a broken down motel in the desert. I dont know why but thats just what I picture in my head.

Same -- it's my great unts name so for me it represents a really old lady. But actually reading it now (and also thinking of baby girl names) I think it can be cute đŸ„°

I love this name but I hate that it doesn’t have a good short form, not a fan of Odie

for me it’s like
why would u want to name ur child Od/Odd?? i know it’s pronounced w a long O but when i read it the first thing i think is “odd” and kids are mean af if they are bullying her u best believe they’re gonna take “odd” and run imo

I just associate it with the swan princess

@Diana brutally specific and hilarious 😂😂 I think of a laundrette rather than a motel 🙈

Swan 🩱

It reminds me of Swan Lake. And I also think there are prettier French O names (Ottilie, Ophélie, Oriane)

I find it a harsh sounding name for a little girl. I know we are only kids for 10% of your lives but I can’t imagine a little baby or toddler called Odette.

The swan princess đŸ„č love the name and the memory

Too old fashioned and tricky to spell for the kid / other people in general.

@Sarah how is it tricky to spell? It’s spelled how it sounds 😂

@J people are thick 😂 my name gets spelt wrong all the time and it’s like the most boring name. I can imagine people spelling it Odet.

I love it because The Swan Princess was my favorite cartoon for a very long time as a child!

Omelette 😬
