I love this name. I'm using it as a middle name if I ever have a daughter. There was a character in one of the Care Bear books called Colette and she was so cool, so the name stuck with me and has been a favourite name for years.
Colette is the name of one of the cooks, and Linguini's love intrest in the Disney*Pixar film, "Ratatouille".

I was almost named Colette which was a good thing I wasn't because to me it sounds like a girly elegent person which I am not. I'm the excact opposite of that. Instead I got Nicole which sounds a little preppy (which I'm not) but it fits me better. Also Nicole could be a pet name for Colette (or the other way around.)
My name is Collette, a variant of Colette, but Collette is supposed to be pronounced Call-Ette. I was always told "what a pretty name" when greeted, even though most who said that to me I knew they weren't fond of it.

An abandoned baby whale in Australia was named Colin by the people who found her. However when they decided to put her down, they found out that she was a girl and renamed her Colette.

Colette is one of my favourite girl names. If you were lucky enough to be called Colette go you! It is very pretty and feminine.
Colette was the pen name of French writer Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (January 28, 1873 – August 3, 1954). Her most famous work was her 1944 novella "Gigi", which inspired a movie musical and a stage musical.
Such a beautiful, underused French name. I'm glad it's made a comeback, I'd love to meet a little girl named Colette.

The name Colette is kind of dated in France. It became really popular in the 30's, and by the 70's it was very rarely given to baby girls. I personally think it's a beautiful name nonetheless :)
