A girl on my uni course:


Aude.


Pronounced a bit like 'ode', as in 'Ode To Joy'.
WDYT?

I went to school with an Aude. I liked that it was different, there aren't a lot of names that stick out in my mind from high school since it seemed like everybody's name had cracked the top 20 at some point, but I don't actually care that much for the name.

I don't really like it... I thought it was pronounced "Odd" at first.

Lol.

It's the name of a French "departement", a region :)
There's Aube, too. But I think they don't use either as first names.
Maybe though Aude could be short for Audrey.

I don't like it, however.
