Personal experiences with the name Elodie: | Edit

We named our now 18 month old daughter Elodie. We are still very happy with our decision. The name sounds really classy and feminine. She gets compliments all the time. I like the fact that this name is unusual but yet not too "out there". It's a very old name of a Saint. The name day is October 22nd. We often call our Elodie "Ellie" which I think is adorable for a little girl.
