Elodie is lovley. Ophelia seems a little over the top to me.

Hedwig3 · 17/02/2011 17:16

Elodie.

Ophelia - Elodie always sounds made up to me.

MelinaM · 17/02/2011 17:58

Ophelia for me, such a beautiful name! x

Elodie

Elodie - Ophelia sounds like the start of a joke name.

Rhubarbgarden · 17/02/2011 18:33

Elodie. Ophelia is a bit too gothic for my taste.

I love Elodie - been trying to convince the DH on that one myself

Oliveonthepaulmckennabus · 17/02/2011 19:31

Love both of them but Elodie is my fav of the two.

Ophelia is a joke name - isn't she Ed Balls' sister?

omaoma · 17/02/2011 19:33

If it helps, a girl in my DS's yr7 class has been the subject of much mirth becUse her middle name is Octavia. Which I think is fine, but that's yr7s for you.

Ophelia is associated with tragedy. Not good.

Elodie, much nicer sounding. Ophelia is too sad ?
