eww! no no no! usa
Thanks, and what do you think of changing my daughter's name (Elodie Autumn)?
Thanks for your comments. I just wanted to get a sense of what people think about this name and it helped to know where you're from since this name is mainly popular in France. I'm American and the name is rarely heard here, but because I think it's pretty I've named my two month old daughter Elodie. We pronounce it to rhyme with Melody, and call her Ellie as a nickname. However, not many people like it! We have gotten some negative comments and some days I think about changing her name to something more pronounceable and less unusual. Let's just say it wasn't my favorite name because dh and I couldn't agree, so this makes me more willing to change it, though I do like it; I just don't love it. (See post above this one for other names I'd have chosen). I like unique names, but maybe this one is too unique. . .
I think about calling her something with a similar -elle sound to make the name transition easier. My current favorites are:
Arabella Colette (nn Ellie)
Aurora Elodie
Or should I just keep her name as Elodie Autumn?

I think it is very pretty!! Could you change the spelling to Ellodie? That would help people pronounce it right I think. I thought it was EE-low-dee when I 1st read it but Ellodie looks like it should start out as Ell and thus the right pr is recognized easily from that point on.
It's rather common in my country (France). It's pron. eh-loh-dee (eh like men) and nms.
I like it a lot and live in the US.
No I've never heard of it before! But it does sound very pretty! And why do I have to say what country I'm from? I don't know you.
I love it, but only prounuced the French way- Ay-lo-dee.
It's nms but it's not horrible. I think it coukld grow on me. I live in the US and have never met anyone named Elodie but I have heard the name before.
I really love the name. It's actually a family name on both sides of my family which is french and belgium. I think it is more common amoung the french.
I don't care for it. It looks to be more of a nickname - for Melodie. I don't care for Melodie, but I prefer the spelling Melody.
I love it, but have never heard it in real life. I live in Sweden :).
I like it a lot. I live in the US but I've heard it before on a French gymnast-Elodie Lussac (not sure if I spelled her last name right).
I'm Australian :-) I've never heard it used here but I love the sound of it.
Automaticly reminds me of Eloise. I rarely hear this name, but I think it's nice!
I've heard *of* it, but not met any. (I live in Scotland).
I love the Norman name Alodie (AL-uh-dee), which is really the same name as French Élodie, just in a different form :-)

I've seen it on a person before, but it was a home-schooled person and on the whole they tend to have more unusual names. I love the name Elodie, I prefer it spelled Élodie, so it's pronounced ay-loh-dee. I live in the UK, by the way.
Love it!
I love it! It's one of my favourite names. I think I first heard of it by seeing it in my French school text book, then one of my teachers had a baby and named her Elodie.

I think Elodie is very pretty. I've heard of it before, but it was on a French actress. I'm American.
