I love this name. For some reason I just always picture it as the name of a mermaid or nymph. There is something very ethereal about it.-- childdoll 9/12/2006

I first heard this name while watching "The Long Walk Home" with Whoopi Goldberg and Sissy Spacek. Whoppi plays Odessa Cotter, who is a very strong and admirable character, and Sissy plays Miriam, Odessa's boss who gives her rides to work during the Montgomery bus boycott--and thus becomes involved in civil rights. Needless to say, it was a very powerful movie.
For me, "Odessa" reminded me of "Odysseus" (which it's connected to on this site), which further reminded me of the word "odyssey," which means journey. I think that naming a child anything to do with a "journey" is wonderful, since what else can it allude to but the journey that is Life? I think *Odessa Miriam* is an absolutely beautiful, powerful name with a great amount of substance (without being pompous).-- erb816 12/14/2008
I went to art school with an Odessa. She was named after the city in the Ukraine. I suppose because of my experiences with her, "Odessa" comes across as being very edgy, artistic, and intelligent, because that's what she was. It's beautiful and rather romantic-sounding, but it's not your typical airy-fairy creative name.-- New_Chloe 1/20/2009
Beautiful. Reminds me of Odette and Odo, both of which I also love but are unusable.-- MoonAgeDaydreamer 2/24/2009

Odessa is a grand, beautiful name.
It's where my great-grandfather was born, which makes me love it even more.-- italiannames 10/15/2009
I like the name. It sounds regal and grand but it doesn't sound "queenish" like Elizabeth, Victoria, and Katherine. It also isn't very common.-- Milena Scialfa 12/31/2009
The city of Odessa in the Ukraine is known as "the pearl of the Black Sea", but it's also unfamous because of the Odessa pogroms of the 19th-early 20th centuries....
In Ukraine, the name is pronounced not o-DES-sa, but more like ah-DYESH-uh.-- Caprice 11/28/2011
