Comments and insights on the name Odette

Pronounced oh-DEHT or uh-DEHT.

I am a ballerina and Swan Lake is one of my favorite ballets! My liking of the name Odette did come from the most prominent character of the ballet. I find this name to be uncommon, forgotten, and beautiful. I would consider this name for anything at anytime!
