Nicknames for 'Ophelia"

We recently had our baby girl Ophelia but we are struggling to come up with a cute nickname for her (and yes, we would like a nickname.)

Not keen on Lia...

Any other suggestions? Happy for 'out of the box' ideas too!

Offie? Offel? Fi? Fifi?

No, I'd stick with Ophelia!

First thought ... Hurricane. Sorry.
Second thought... FiFi
Third thought ... LeeLee

Why choose such a lovely name and then shorten it to something that will make her sound like a poodle?

Effie? Different vowel sound but if you say it quickly you don't notice much

Frith2013 · 28/06/2019 16:59

Bubiz? As in Ophelia Bubiz?

Ophie, pronounced to rhyme with Sophie (not Offy as pp said!). Lovely name!

Feelya (tits) sorry, couldn't resist.

Lia seems a natural nickname.

TenSheets · 28/06/2019 16:47

It will come naturally with time. For now just call her baba or something

MrsSkeffington · 28/06/2019 16:43
