I've just had DD, she is a whole 5 days old and we thought we'd picked a good name, but I've just received an email from a family friend saying that it's a terrible name.
Please tell me straight, is Ophelia Elizabeth Cole a horrible name?

Tell her to Fcuk off and name your child whatever you like.
She is an evil bitch for saying that to you. She has no right.
She wouldn't be my friend if she sent that.
If she wants to think it fine but she keeps her mouth shut and her opinion to herself

This friend sounds lovely *sarcastic voice there!

Honestly though, Ophelia is such a gorgeous name. I really love it.

Roald Dahl named his own daughter this, so if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for anyone! Smile

It's a lovely name.

Your friend is rude. It's a beautiful name. What names does your 'friend' deem suitable? What a self centred stupid interfering bitch.

I have a 6 month old DD named Ophelia. Not such a popular name where I live at the moment but seems to be very popular in the UK Easter Blush I really can't understand someone commenting on a friends baby name choice in such a way. She can't have much of a life or maybe she was 'saving' the name for herself. Whatever it is all this baby name stuff drives me bonkers [leaves baby names thread] Easter Grin

It’s a beautiful name!

It is a lovely name and will only ever be a problem if she meets and falls in love with someone whose surname is Dorgan and she decides to double-barrel. That's probably unlikely enough though.

It's not my taste. But I'm not your friend and I'd suck it up and not be so rude if I were her.

This thread shows it's a perfectly reasonable (lovely to some) name

It's a lovely name and nice to be a bit different , ignore your friend . Xx
