My aunt's name was Olena Grace Lamar, born in 1925, so my opinion is swayed by that. Odessa sounds more exotic to me. I wonder if it will gain in popularity as an alternative to Olivia and because the city of Odessa has been in the news. It hasn't been in the US top 1000 since the 19402-50s. Olena hasn't ever been in the top 1000. It sounds sweeter to me. They definitely have different vibes despite similar sounds. Love them both.
