Ophelia Beatrix
Mungo Jeffrey

What do you think? The middle names are family names.

Mungo Jeffrey sounds like Mungo Jerry, or is that just me?
Ophelia Beatrix is ok

Sorry but I don't like Mungo Jeffrey at all and agree that it sounds like Mungo Jerry.

I quite like your girl's name though.

Ophelia is unusual and nice-like it.

Mungo-no sorry really don't like.

Mungo sounds like a horrid word if you replace the 'u' with an 'o'.
Jeffrey is better as the first name.
Not a fan of the girl name. I do like Beatrice if that's an option.

Mungo - as in Harry Potter's correctional school?
Getting the HP theme from Beatrix/ Bellatrix also.

I think Ophelia has rather sad connotations after Hamlet...

How didn't I spot Mungo Jeffrey/Jerry? Must check for other family names now.

Nope, don't like Bellatrix. It sounds made up and we're not Potter fans.

Mungo is a dog's name surely?

sockmonster · 30/07/2009 10:53

replace Mungo with something less cruel and your names are perfect!

Montgomery is not as mean? Milo? Er.. anything but Mungo?

Personally I love the name Ophelia Beatrix

Ophelia is really lovely. Sorry about Mungo Jerry!

What's happened with Ophelia? Everyone on MN used to hate it.

Re the sad Shakespeare connections, what about Juliet then? No-one ever says that about Juliet do they?

Mungo's just funny.

I like Ophelia but think Mungo is truly awful.

I don't think that Beatrix works well with Ophelia though.

I think Beatrix Ophelia is better than the other way round

Mungo is a dog's name
