Colette is a beautiful name. It is strong, firm and rather lovely.

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.

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's a lovely name, it's incredibly sweet for a young girl but it matures well and it sounds very pleasant.

This name is occasionally used in English, most often by Catholics to honour Saint Colette, in which case it is pronounced kə-LET.

Not all things French are good. When I hear this name, I immediately think of charcoal.

I have a friend named Colette and another named Kalette. Pronounced the same way but I like the way Kalette is spelled. It works better for my friend.

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 :)

This my daughters name. She's 19 now and I call her Coco. She always tells me she wishes I named her Sunny instead :~ Which was my other option.

I love this name so much. It's unique. It's special. It stands out. I thank my parents for giving me such a wonderful name.

A nickname is Collie. But a colly is a dog, though.
