Odette is so beautiful, like most French names are, but this one escaped me until recently. It’s so simple and gorgeous, I don’t understand why it’s not popular (I’m glad it isn’t though!)
I think Odette is one of the prettiest names out there. This one, along with Anneliese, Genevieve, Anastasia and Josephine seem very beautiful to me. All I ask is that it doesn't become too popular in the next few years.
I absolutely love my name! I have never met someone with the same name! It's unique and powerful. I wouldn't change it ever! I don't even use my second name. Odette Ann, although I love them both! I would have been named Emmarentia Jeanette, but due to a huge family fight about names my mom just opened a baby book with names and picked the first one she noticed.
I’ve seen someone mention it’s pronounced aw-det but where I’m from in Australia it’s oh-det. I personally love Odette, Etta is a gorgeous nickname as well. If I could change my name it would be to this, however I love my own name.

This is one of the prettiest names I have ever heard! Works well with all ages and rolls off your tongue! I love the name Odette Sylvia Dawn together too!

I really like Odette as a full name, it's rather nice. Plus you can not shorten Odette.

I love unusual names like this! I hadn't heard it prior to watching the Swan Princess animated film. I was glad when her name was announced that it wasn't something I'd heard of before, but I did think to myself that it wasn't a pretty name. It's not frilly fru fru like most princess names tend to be, which also gives it that extra bit of 'specialness'.
The American actor Mark Ruffalo and his wife Sunrise named their third child, born in 2007, Odette.

Odette is not the name of a fairy in Swan Lake. The character is a woman that has been transformed into a swan by an evil sorcerer. [noted -ed]

I like the name Odette and don't at the same time, if that makes any sense at all. I think of the Swan Princess also. I liked the character Odette when she was young, then not as much when she was grown up and in love with Derek and all that mushy stuff lol.
I think Odette is a lovely name! Especially if put with Marie, Marie-Odette, if you wanted it a bit more feminine but I see no problems with Odette on it's own!
Famous Bearer: Odette Juliette Yustman has had roles in Cloverfield, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Transformers, The Holiday, Dear God, Reckless Behavoir: Caught on Tape (a lifetime original movie), and Kindergarten Cop. She has also been in episodes of October Road, Monk, Southbeach, Quintuplets, and Remeberance.

I really love this name because it's elegant and cute. It's absolutely cool.
Usually this sort of name would sound to harsh or hard to me, but since I associate it with the princess from The Swan Princess I think of it as feminine, elegant, and beautiful. I probably wouldn't use it for a child, though.
Such a sweet and delicate name. It always reminds me of the princess from Swan Lake, so that's what I always associate the name with - graceful, beautiful, and utterly feminine.
I think it is a very abrupt, but beautiful name. It all depends on how you look at it. Pronounced: Oh-Det. In English this name means 'Little Song'. It is a symbol of 'wind' and a month of April. 'Odette' is a name of peace and power. What I love about this name is that it is rare and unusual. Nobody in my school, or town had this name. I Love it! :)
