I really love this name, but it wouldn't be suitable if you lived in USA or somewhere that speaks English. It sounds and looks too much like undie, which is short for underwear in English. I really suggest this name if you live in a place that doesn't speak English.
I love this name and I have no idea why I like it so much but the history and associations are awesome and I think it would make a very cute middle name for a little girl.

I don't know, I just don't like this name for some reason. I can't put my finger on exactly why, but I think it's just the entire name in general.

I really love the name Undine- but I prefer the spelling: Ondine. Because Undine does look like underwear (which is unfortunate). Ondine doesn't that have that problem. If you can look past that however, no matter how you spell it, the name is very pretty and unique! I love the connection with water!

Unfortunately it looks like undies, like underwear. That'd be an unfortunate nickname.
I pronounce it Uhn-DYE-N / Uhn-DIE-N / Uhn-DINE. In general, I think that it is a mysteriously beautiful name... were it not for the fact that it is made-up-- which completely takes away the elegance. Nor do I like the recent surge in anime/manga characters taking this name... it is not Japanese, dears. Because of that: it now attracts the obsessive followers of the book(s) and/or television show/movie.It should be left to Paracelsus-- he created it, he may use it freely in his literature.
I like the sound of Undine, but prefer it as a middle name. I think Orinoco Undine sounds amazing--"orinoco wave." True, waves aren't common in rivers, but still--I like the fact that Undine means "wave."

I think this name is quite strange and quirky; I don't mind this name in general, but I think it would suit somebody who was ultra-modern in persona and attitude. :)
