Sibling name for Ophelia

[Balletmummyxx]

Boy/ girl sibling suggestions to go with my daughters name, ‘Ophelia’. Quite like ethereal/ regal names. Ophelia reminds me of a fairy queen. That’s along the lines I’m going for. Thankyou 🤗

@shakespearesisters what is DD2’s name!?

Desdemona. No idea why but it just popped into my head.

Felicityfor a girl. Sebastian for a boy.

No suggestions but I really hope your surname
Is balls

@whatshallidonowpeople yes it is!

Rowan for a boy ? The tree is assoiated with magic and it's a long history of being used as a boy name in UK.

Obviously not but thanks for your input @whatshallidonow

Love a good Shakespearean name! Sticking with the theme, how about:

Cordelia
Viola
Beatrice
Celia
Hermione

Sebastian
Orlando
Henry
Hector
Frederick

@troubledlichen great suggestions!

Raphiel/Helena

Rosalind

Ariana
Lily
Savannah

it seems so odd to name your child after a tragic character who has a terrible boyfriend, goes mad and then commits suicide. What will she think when she sees the play for the first time??

Isabella
Bianca
Cassandra
Flavia

Flavius

Bottom?

Odelia for a girl sibling!

I went to school with a girl called Ophelia. She constantly got asked “can I have Ophelia tits” through high school and I still love the name! I liked that and Octavia.

Some other Shakespearean names:

Girl: Cordelia, Regan, Violet, Portia, Desdemoma, Miranda, Katherina, Juliet, Rosaline, Beatrice, Hero (you could use that for a boy too)

Boy: Lysander, Othello, Oberon (as I think someone suggested), Romeo, Fleance, Banquo, Caliban, Iago

Maybe do some research though. And think about it. I love the name Romeo but I bet he'd get teased.

Hero is a bit of a wet lettuce and Regan is a villain. Othello murders his wife... Iago manipulated him into doing it.

Just maybe read the plays beforehand is what I'm saying

Ophelia Payne, Love.

Should be Desdemona, sorry

The only Ophelia I have ever met had a brother called Hugo. Viola, Olivia and Sebastian all go well (12th night) my DS1 had a classmate called Fabian, but he was a genuinely very posh.

@ghostyslovesheets yes I loved that thread! Balonz all the way.

Arwen?

My last name means I could never choose this name for my DD! [blush}
