I know it's been mentioned on another thread recently but wondering if it is on the rise? Many I think said, it's pretty, but doesn't work with the surname 'Balls' :).

it's a lovely name but I just can't get over the literary connotations...lots of people seem to post it though

Years ago my friends partner used to joke that if they had a girl it would be named Ophelia Fanny...thank goodness they had two boys...Tom and Matthew...boring but nice names

I think it's gorgeous. One of my fellow March mums has a DD called Ophelia.

You're right though, probably best not to use it for a girl with the surname Balls Wink
