I think I'm missing something.
A couple people have mentioned weed with Elodia, and I have no idea why. What am I forgetting or not knowing?

Elodia is a species of seaweed--we used it in biology in my high school. Check out what you get when you Google imagesearch it, and you'll see what I mean. :)It's not really a bad association, but for me, it's nothing that improves a name that I already don't care for.ArrayEta: Ack--see Kate, lol. Clearly, I didn't pay quite enough attention to note the spelling.

Huh.I could've googled, my bad. I just thought it was some sort of random slangy or pop-culture assocation I was clueless about. No, it's really seaweed. Huh. Perchance we'll stick with Elodie, which I do like, but I prefer prn the French way to the English, although I think I like Elodia over the French Elodie anyway just for lack of pretention that way. *shrug*

I'm sure this sounds weird, but I like Elodea (the seaweed). It is fun to look at under a microscope and I think it looks pretty in a fish tank. For me, it wouldn't be a negative association for Elodia.
Edited for spelling.
