HelpIs Elodie Primrose most suited to only children or is it versatile across a lifetime?
My second favorite combo for Elodie is Elodie Primrose, but is it too infantile? Suited to the realm of the nursery only? Or could you envision a person having it at any age? What about these same sentiments in comparison to my primary favorite Elodie Anastasia? If you feel one or both are too infantile, I would appreciate the offer of more universal alternatives. Thank you for your time! :)

I don't think either combo would age well.

Thank you! I don't know if I'll be able to use it now because my sister named her baby Eloise last December, but I still quite like it all the same.

Aging is most important for the first name by itself. Elodie would age fine I'd say. Primrose is a good mn. Anastasia would maybe age a little better, but matches Elodie less well.

It gives me a young impression, probably because I've never met one, and only saw it recently. I don't find it interesting or attractive, but I've known Melody people of all ages (I don't like Melody either) so why not Elodie as well? I'd prefer Anastasia as a mn, rather than Primrose. Primness is a strange attribute when naming a daughter! And my only association with it is the wife of Dr Harold Shipman, who murdered nobody knows how many of his elderly patients in the UK, about 200, often stealing from them: his wife, Primrose, actually wore their jewellery! So it's a name I just know too much about, though I don't think I'd have liked it anyway: flimsy and sentimental.

I like both, suit all ages, both names

I don't like Elodie at all, it's got a precious, British-children's-book vibe circa 1920, and that's not a compliment from me.
But Elodie Primrose is just sickeningly sweet, like the character would be all golden-haired and lisping and a big crybaby who was a thief or a bully when the nurse's back was turned.

Neither of them strike me as childish.
I think Elodie seems birdlike in a dainty whimsical way. NMS, but it's ok. Seems like she'd be sweet even as a mature older lady.
I like Primrose with it. You'd think that would make Elodie prissier because of the prim part, but I think instead it grounds it, while also reinforcing what I like about Elodie.
Anastasia is an objectively neat and sturdy name, but it's hard for me to dissociate it from the mysterious murder of a child being turned into a romance story. I think I'd probably like it as my name, though - I'd probably even prefer Anastasia Elodie.

I can imagine it on a child or an older woman without any problem at all, and it could probably work on a young adult as well. It sounds more mature than Oakleighanne Graycelynn, at the very least.
