Help[Opinions] Re: Melody and Elodie
in reply to a message by Lily
Melody is "growing on me again" too. It's awfully saccharine - the word is too saccharine and pleasant, and not edgy or evocative enough, to be fashionable right now - and I just don't care. I like it tons. I like the way it seems totally femmey, yet doesn't have any frills because the concept is super simple - and somehow it still bears plenty of power, and isn't trivial. Like Tiffany or Stephanie, only more modest and honest.
Elodie pronounced like Melody-without-the-M annoys me (sorry). It clunks. It seems like Ella + Dee, but run together. The O does not come out as an O, it comes out as UH. Reminds me a little of elegy. And gives me an impression similar to Melilot (affectedly pastoral sounding). And I agree that non-French-speakers (I know there's a word for "French speakers" but I feel lame using it) can't say it right. Sure it's pretty in French, so I say leave it to the French speakers, because they can keep it nice.
