Ophelia, Felicity or Mirabelle....

[Duffstuff]

Hi ladies, can I get your views on these names. I really like the name Ophelia but for obvious reasons (it's very morbid background) don't feel 100% confident about using the name. I also like the names Felicity and Mirabelle. Out of the 3, which do you like the best? Other suggestions are welcome

[GirlWithTheMouseyHair]

I prefer Felicity. Love Ophelia as a name but could never use it for same reasons as you (very uperstitious and work in theatre). Nor personally keen on Mirabelle, a bit old fashioned for me

Felicity - its such a 'happy' name.

Shouldn't Mirabelle be Mirabel? As in Mirabel from Malory Towers? :) Or was it St Claire's?

MrsvWoolf have you read 'A Childhood at Greehedges'? By Imogen Smallwood. Fascinating, if you're a fan. Do you know Anita etc? :)

I've read Finding Enid, and wish I had the idea first! Lots of soul searching and fish and chip eating by the sea but not a lot of particular revelation IMO. :).

Another vote for Felicity :)

Felicity is beautiful!

Felicity. Ophelia not good for the reasons the OP mentions. And dislike girls' names ending in Bel or Belle - not sure why just feel too ickle girly.

[LetThereBeRock]

Felicity is lovely. I love Ophelia too,but I don't like Mirabelle at all.

[florilegia]

I think Felicity is lovely too

[Cicatrice]

I like Felicity or Mirabelle.

Ophelia sounds a bit like "feeble". Have the same problem with Phoebe.

Thankyou so much for all your comments. Im loving Felicity at the moment but struggling to convince my DH. He likes Hannah, which although I dont mind, would much prefer one of the above

[MerryMarigold]

Not really any, though Felicity far and away the best of the bunch. Prefer Hannah. How about Miriam?

Ophelia is a beautiful name. I am pregnant with DC 2 and considering it but I know DP will probably not be keen. The tragedy of Ophelia doesn't sway me at all. I used to love Helena Bonham Carter's Ophelia when I was younger, so beautiful and enchanting. But I shouldn't go on like this... as I say DP is bound to veto it!

I like Felicity the best and would put it in the same category as Penelope and Dorothy - also lovely imo!

[NormanNorris]

I like Mirabel but spelt this way.
