Help[Opinions] Melody and Elodie
Melody is an old favorite that is growing on me again. I'm really surprised that its popularity went even further down in 2011. Does anyone have any idea why? It's one of the names that should be more popular. I'm also quite surprised it wasn't more common in the 90s, it has the rhythm of popular 80s/90s names such as Tiffany and Stephanie but a word name quality such as Destiny and Brooke which are also common.
Elodie is a new favorite. My mom is French and I know it's super overused there but that doesn't really matter. The thing is, I'd like to use the English pronunciation: ELL-o-dee. I like the French pronunciation but I think it would be really annoying to correct people all of the time. I'm fluent in French and have tried to explain the French pr. to some people I know but they just don't get the first syllable right. They say it like AY, but it's really more a very long EH - a sound that doesn't really exist in english.
I also like Elle as her nickname. Do you think it would be fine to use the english pr.? After all Nicole isn't pronounced the French way in the US either as well as many other names.
Opinions of Melody and Elodie? Which do you prefer?
