Help[Opinions] Re: Elodie
in reply to a message by Lily
Ahh, I remember when the board was mad for Elodie! She was everywhere.
I don't mind it. I find it a bit clumsy to say, because it is so very French and I am so very removed from my Frenchiness. But it is very pretty, it makes me think of a songbird on a delicate spring branch above a clear, cold stream of water. I'd be pleased to see/meet an Elodie.
The accent would change how I say it. I know that é is more like "ay" so Élodie would be "AY-leh-dee" for me (see, that seems so clumsy! Damn my nonfrenchness) but Elodie is like "EL-a-dee". Which I find very pretty if a bit strange on my lips. Ella-Dee wouldn't be strange but Elodie is. Funny, that! But I think you should put the accent in if you want it.
