Odette. Love it. Odile like it but Odette is solo much nicer. I like that they both would be easy to put other names with them and they'd still flow well
Odette
Odette is lovely and doesn't get enough love.
Odile seems like a clunkier Adele although they do have distinct origins.

I’ve always liked Odile better, it’s more sophisticated and interesting. I’m not crazy about-ette names.
Odile
It's more mysterious and svelter than Odette, which I also love.

Both are uncomfortably balletic; I'll go for Odette, the White Swan. I once taught a blonde Odile, and I kept on getting her name wrong. She never knew why.
Odette ...
Mind you, I think Odette is ugly as a monkey's armpit, but at least it isn't as ugly as Odile, which looks like the back end of a crocodile.

“Ugly as a monkey’s armpit” made me snort with laughter ;)
