What is your opinion on the name Lourdes? I also like the name Ophelia. What other names may I like?

No I’m not religious and yes I’m also worried about pronunciation.
Is Ophelia not becoming very very popular though? I don’t want her to be in a class of many Ophelia’s.

Hmm Catholic background so I would pronounce it as Lords as it was called at my school etc. Actually thought that was what Madonna's daughter is called as I've never heard her pronounce it. Only just realised the connection of Madonna naming her child that in the first place. Penny has dropped!

I don't like it as a name with my pronunciation sorry OP probably no help there

Are you Catholic? I’d assume you were if you named DC Lourdes. I’m Catholic - it’s not a slur, but I would assume you were religious.

Lourdes = massive madonna fan for a mother, to me.

I dislike Ophelia but it's a lot better than Lourdes.

TBH I think it's too associated with Madonna personally for me to like it, and I wouldn't be sure how to pronounce it either.

Ophelia I love. Lourdes a place to go on pilgrimage and pray.

I personally don't like dc being given names that are the names of other things - ie a French town. I know someone will come along and say what about India or Paris, but the same applies.

I think you’re going to run into pronounciation problems as some will pronounce it like Lourdez as per Madonna’s daughter. Others will say Lord (with a long O) as per the place in France.

I really love Ophelia though! As for other names, how about Allegra or Ottilie?
