[Opinions] Re: Odile
in reply to a message by Rioghnach
There is this ballet ... Swan Lake ... you may have heard of it? Very taxing - there's a double character, Odette for the good girl, Odile for the bad girl.
I knew a Dutch woman, now dead, who was an Odile. She was a schoolgirl in Amsterdam during WWII. Apart from her, I knew a South African Odile who must have been born in about 1960; never seen it again.
It seems pleasant enough to me, attractive even, though I wouldn't use it - there are so many nicer names. And I don't find it unfeminine at all.
