I've just had DD, she is a whole 5 days old and we thought we'd picked a good name, but I've just received an email from a family friend saying that it's a terrible name.
Please tell me straight, is Ophelia Elizabeth Cole a horrible name?

how strange of her, it's a lovely name

That is an awful thing to do to a friend, especially a friend with a brand new baby.

It’s abgreat name and if you love it, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

The ‘friend’ is an arse.

Of course it isn't. How dare someone tell you her name is horrid! Even if you don't like the name someone picked you keep it to yourself. It isn't like you named her She-Devil Satanic Spawn.

I think it is a beautiful name and your 'family friend' is bloody rude, who asked for her opinion anyway

Do you know about the connotations of Ophelia?

No it's not, it's lovely.

And congratulations

No its beautiful. I HATE that people feel they can butt in about names.
Also so weak to email

Spanneroo · 27/03/2018 18:54

Nope. The name is fine. Your friend is a horrible person though.
