Odette and Adele
What do you think?I don't remember where I first heard the name Odette but it wasn't the princess swan because I've never seen it. I like it but I don't like it at the same time.I first heard Adele in the movie "The Majestic" and I loved it. Unfortunately most people think of the singer, I do like the singer but wouldn't want to use the name and have everyone say "like the singer?"Can you think of any similar names?

Odette is nice, but I'm not a huge fan of -ette names.Adele I love. Unfortunately Adele the singer is pretty synonymous with it right now, it's a bit unavoidable. People joke about my cousin Adele all the time, especially after the Grammy's. Either way I love it.For something similar:
Emilie (or Emily, how Del's sister spells it)
Olivia (Del's other sister)

I'm kind of in the same spot as you about Odette. I like it, but I also don't. I think it's pretty, but it may be just a tad too abrupt.I really like Adele. I think it's beautiful, but I agree that the singer has taken away a lot of the appeal.Other names:
Gisele
Josette
Suzette
Evette
Axelle

Ooh! I like Josette. Hmm... I also like Suzette. I went to school with a Suzette.

Odette is nice, but I prefer Odille. Odille is darker, which appeals to me.I think Adele is fine, and I don't think people linking her with the singer is that big a deal. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders, and she is very talented. Personally, if my name were Adele, I would like the association.

Hmm... I don't know how I feel about Odille, how do you pronounce it?You're right about Adele, it's not like it would be a Miley Cyrus type of connection.

I actually misspelled it, because I'm all wonky today. I meant Odile.
