Colette is my sister's name. It is very elegant and beautiful, just like her. She has very dark hair, fair skin and blue eyes. She looks very French and I have always thought the name suits her perfectly.
Also Judeo-Anglo-Norman. Source: Seror, Simon "Les noms des femmes juives en Angleterre au Moyen Âge".

I really like the name Colette because it’s beautiful and you don’t hear it that often but it’s not unheard of at the same time. I love the name Colette Briar with it.
Simply beautiful. Colette is a feminine, sensual and brave name. It looks good for any age and conveys a smooth maturity. A highly recommended option. If your name is Colette, you are very lucky.
The love of my life is named Colette. The name could not be more perfect for her. Kind, loving, artistic, sexy and gorgeous. She was not born with this name but chose it for herself as an adult. I have never met another Colette and that's just the way I like it.

A nickname is Collie. But a colly is a dog, though.
This my daughters name. She's 19 now and I call her Coco. She always tells me she wishes I named her Sunny instead :~ Which was my other option.

The name Colette is kind of dated in France. It became really popular in the 30's, and by the 70's it was very rarely given to baby girls. I personally think it's a beautiful name nonetheless :)
This name is occasionally used in English, most often by Catholics to honour Saint Colette, in which case it is pronounced kə-LET.

Colette was the pen name of French writer Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (January 28, 1873 – August 3, 1954). Her most famous work was her 1944 novella "Gigi", which inspired a movie musical and a stage musical.
An abandoned baby whale in Australia was named Colin by the people who found her. However when they decided to put her down, they found out that she was a girl and renamed her Colette.

My name is Collette, a variant of Colette, but Collette is supposed to be pronounced Call-Ette. I was always told "what a pretty name" when greeted, even though most who said that to me I knew they weren't fond of it.

Actress Constance Zimmer has a daughter Colette Zimmer, born 5th January 2008.
I was almost named Colette which was a good thing I wasn't because to me it sounds like a girly elegent person which I am not. I'm the excact opposite of that. Instead I got Nicole which sounds a little preppy (which I'm not) but it fits me better. Also Nicole could be a pet name for Colette (or the other way around.)
Colette is the name of one of the cooks, and Linguini's love intrest in the Disney*Pixar film, "Ratatouille".

I love this name. I'm using it as a middle name if I ever have a daughter. There was a character in one of the Care Bear books called Colette and she was so cool, so the name stuck with me and has been a favourite name for years.
