Odette.
Audrina could get called 'Awd' and that is very unpleasant Ouida is a 'How do you say that?' name And because Odette is just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.... |

hehe Ouida is Weeda
It's more a sentimental love i guess. My grandma had an elderly neighbour named Ouida, she had no children and herself was an only child, so had no neices and nephews and she spoiled us rotten when we went to visit grandma. We called her Aunty Ouida. |

I love Ouida, and Audrina is lovely too, but I really don't like Odette. I'm not a fan of 'ette names on the whole (my name used to be Claudette, but I changed it), as I find them harsh soundly, and with Ode at the beginning, I think odour and odorous...
