I like Melody more. Elodie seems incomplete, and Elodie will likely get nicknamed Ellie, which is already a popular nickname for all the other popular El- names for girls these days.

I think this name is pretty. I also like how it sounds like "melody".

This name oddly reminds me of the names 'Genevieve' and 'Brydie' at the same time. Not exactly the most appealing name in the world, however...

My name is Odile and I named my daughter Elodie because all the letters in Elodie are in ODILE while they are different. I speak fluent French and the pronunciation is just beautiful, if you don't know any French you may find it distasteful. I never met someone so compassionate, loving, caring, forgiving, smart, joyful, pure, just so beautifully made inside and out. If naming your daughter Elodie can bring such personality to a human being, just go for it.

Very musical sounding and just overall has a nice meaning. It could serve as an alternative to Melody and have better nicknames such as Elle and Ellie. It's an idea. Honestly the name is perfectly normal outside of the states. I once told my friend that I want to use this name and she said children would be like "What's an Elodie?" I get her point but at the same time I don't think it's fair that people have to compromise on what they name their kids, especially since it's not that bad of a name to understand.

I named my baby girl Elodie, mid 2015. We pronounce it rather southern North American: ella-dee. Since folks do a second-take when I tell them her name, I've started introducing her with "Melody without the 'm'." Her nicknames include "Elle", "Ella-delly-doo", "Ellie-belly", and "Elle-belle."

I knew a French girl with this name and she was adorable! It was pronounced Ay-low-dee.

Flowy, musical, & light. Lends itself to cute nicknames like Elle, Ellie, & Ella. I say it more like EL-la-die with my semi-southern accent.

It's a beautiful name, I just wish it was more classic. The name Élodie really only came into common use in the 80's, and it was very popular for about 15 years but has since become slightly less common.

I seem to have forgotten this addition to my previous post...
Has no one noticed the 'initial' factor that comes into play when "Élodie" is pronounced (particularly in English-speaking countries)? It resembles a seeming tacky elaboration of a person's initials-- L.O.D., which would equal Elizabeth Ophelia Nethers, for explanations sake.

I know someone Elodie, and she has been called L.O.D.
(It's pronounced E-lə-dee.)

I'm surprised to see the positive responses to this name. I don't mean to be mean but I dislike this name. The way its pronounced- the syllables- are too disconnected. Also it reminds me of Melody so it makes the name seem incomplete when you pronounce it. Melody is better for sure. I met someone named Elody (I think that's the spelling). Ew. I agree with the comment above about it sounding like L.O.D. not cute..

Personally, I feel that "Élodie" is a bit out-of-place when not restricted to France; it runs a high risk of taking the appearance of a pompous 'kre8tiv' version of "Melody" (which itself, admittedly, is it's own atrocity.)
That being said... I suppose that I shall be the minority and state my distaste for it to both the eye and ear-- it lacks the flow, subtle beauty, professionalism, and intelligence that is needed to balance the undeniable frilly nature of it.

This is actually quite a beautiful name, as long as it's pronounced el-uh-dee. But I don't like it pronounced ay-loh-dee.

So beautiful, I could imagine it on a little girl, or on a teenager, or a beautiful woman. I love it. I'm putting it on my PNL!

Wow, SO beautiful! It puts me in mind of a beautiful, pure-minded French maiden. I can't imagine an unkind person called Elodie! I've also seen this spelt "Elody", which I think takes away some of its charm. But I still love the name!

This name should be pronounced AY-lo-dee or ELL-lo-dee, not ay-lo-DEE. The accent is on the E so the emphasis is on the first syllable of the name.

To the above comment, that is how accents work in, for example, Spanish. However, in French the accent aigu (this one) on the first letter of the name has nothing to do with stressed syllables: it means the "e" is pronounced similar to how you would say the letter "a", a long "a" sound. The pronunciation listed is perfectly correct.

Oops yeah I'm sorry :/ I speak both French and Spanish and I think I got confused. Yeah in French the é makes a long E-sound as in "ay" or "eeeeh" and the è makes a short E-sound as eh. I don't know why I mixed it up. The weird thing is that 2 French girls I know definitely pronounce it with the accent on the first syllable. But maybe they changed the pronunciation when they moved here.

Yay, my name! My mom lived in France for awhile, so that's how I was named. I hate it when people call me 'E-LOW-DEE' so annoying. But I do like my name, even though it gets embarrassing when people pronounce it wrong.

A Frenchwoman with a daughter named Elodie told me her name was pronounced like Melody, but without the M. I think it sounds nicer as EL-o-dee.

Quite honestly, I like it better without the accent and pronounced EL-o-dee. (how I first heard it) But this is nice too.
