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 🤗

My ex was called Orlando and his sister was Faye.
They would be fabulous with Ophelia.

Please tell me people are just taking the piss with most of these atrocious suggestions?

I'd consider the vast majority of these names. I think I did, actually.

cressida? Knew a lovely one at work
or cassandra?

Miranda is lovely for a girl so is Viola or Perdita.
Maybe Sebastian or Orlando or Crispin for a boy.

Waynetta

What about Octavian for a boy Octavia for a girl.

I feel so sorry for kids whose parents give them stupid, weird names, like my dumbass Mother did to me.

There's nothing wrong with normal, every day names like Emma, Jane, Sarah, Louise etc.

Has noone suggested Polonius?

Viennetta is lovely
Or Ferrero, it sounds really posh for a girl.

There's nothing wrong with normal, every day names like Emma, Jane, Sarah, Louise etc.

I like Louise.

Honestly I'd like to be called something like that! I'm a bit of a romantic maybe. I remember reading someone posting online that they'd hate to have a name you could find on a personalised ruler

But that is something to consider, OP - your kid might hate it. None of my DC particularly objected but maybe choose something that could be shortened just in case? Persephone could be Sephy, Katherina could be Katie etc.

Insomniacanonymous Gary is in that list Ophelia and Gary?

Well as seen as you have Frogmella and Waynetta it’s only fair to suggest Spudulika too .
Seriously though I am named one of the more outlandish suggestions in this thread, and, whilst I don’t hate it I do sometimes wish when I’m asked my name I could just say Jane or Lisa or summat a bit more normal

Polonius is wonderful.
How about Leopoldina or Demelza for a girl
and Nicodemus or Rafaello for a boy?

No suggestions except to avoid Amelia, cos it rhymes. As I pointed out to an acquaintance who named her daughters thus. Who then got terribly pissy at me and later launched a Facebook rant insisting that they don't rhyme. They do

I love Imogen, Bianca, Helena, Cressida and Beatrice. I used to love the name Miranda, but Miranda Hart and her gurning awfulness put me off.

I'd go for Beatrice for a girl and Benedict for a boy, because Much Ado is one of my favourite Shakespeare comedies. Lysander is nice too.

I've never been able to consider Portia seriously as a girl's name because The Archers' Mrs Antrobus had an Afghan hound called Portia.

Virginia (Ginny)

Oh love demelza!

And Miranda.

Hey that list of the everyday names are my 2 and my sisters 2!!! Seriously my mother would be outraged at our names every day and actually I was the only one with my name throughout school. I loved that. Popular now though

Maybe Cleopatra, Marilyn or Virginia if you’re going for the whole self immolation vibe?

Tilapia.

How about Oedipus for a boy, Oprah for a girl? And if you crack out a fourth one Omarion?

Boys
Duane
Durango
Bilbo
Bilbao
Dildo

Girls
Dolphin
Dulcit
Persephone
Hygenia
Smeagle

How about Oedipus for a boy

Oh come on, not Oedipus

Obsidian for a boy
Ordelia for a girl

Anyone said Bottom yet? - this ticks the Shakespeare box nicely and we also have Ophelia Bottom. No contest imo.
