the other Odette Scott

This week I discovered another Odette Scott. Shocking! My greatest nightmare! I wrote her. Below is our short conversation on Facebook.

Hi, I'm Odette Scott by marriage. You?

Oh, I didn't think of that. No, I'm not married, this is my original name. Do you like it? I think it's a pretty nice name, I like the double Ts, and people in the US usually get Odette wrong but Scott is such an easy name, everyone gets it right.
Is Odette a strange name to have in S. Africa? I've never met anyone named Odette before, besides you. Have you?

I'ts ok I suppose. I have met another Odette before, she was at school with me, but she was Portuguese. I don't live in South Africa. We left SA almost 4 years ago and we are now living in New Zealand. I have 3 children, Dana 21, Natalie 16 and Robert 6.
Take care
