I already have an Lydia. Love Ophelia but is it too samey with the ‘ia’ ending?

My nieces are Delilah and Ophelia. I wouldn’t worry about it Grin

I love Ophelia, but it's quite long for an 'everyday' name - do you have a shortening or nickname in mind? I knew an Ophelia who was known as 'Cece', which of course is nothing like Lydia.

They both have the same feel to me, but they aren't too similar.

LotusClover · 07/04/2020 18:05

No, not too similar at all. If you're worried about it though you could go for Orla as an alternative.

Nice names :)
