Twin girls

[AmberMai]

I really like unusual names, I haven't really spoken to anyone about these names yet.
I've always loved the name Juliet and nobody seems to like it.
Going along with the Shakespearean names (Romeo + Juliet) I also like Ophelia (hamlet).
If I remember correctly from year 8 English I'm sure Ophelia was horrible but I still really love the name.
What do people think? X

I like Juliet but not Ophelia

On the Shakespeare theme, how about Beatrice / Miranda / Cordelia / Rosalind? I quite like both of yours though!

Ophelia wasn't horrible. She lost her mind because Hamlet was an arse but that's hardly her fault.

I like both Juliet and Ophelia.
Similar to Ophelia: Octavia and Aurelia
Also from Shakespeare: Cordelia, Helena, Viola, Cassandra, Adriana, Alexas

I prefer Juliet more. What about julietta?

@Fantababy
I really can't remember it's been ages since I've read it aha

Pelargonia and Aurelia

I really like both.

@ArtisanPopcorn thank you I've been wondering what people think of them for ages. I love how unique but yet old fashioned they are

I have a DD Miranda and a cat Cordelia so they would be my suggested names. How about Hermione, Helena, Viola, Emilia or Rosalind, along the Shakespeare theme.

Oh and love Juliet but not sure about Ophelia, although there was one at DD's school.

It's that Ophelia goes mad and then drowns...

I prefer Rosalind to Ophelia although Rosalind and Juilet as a sibling set sounds far too similar to Romeo and Juliet. I also love Aurelia as previously suggested.

I have a niece called Juliette (often Jules) and a friends little one is called Ophelia but her peers and siblings call her Feels.

Juliette and Cordelia are lovely and unique.

If you like unusual names why Juliet as is is quite a 'normal' name (I love it by the way). I don't think Juliet and Ophelia go together as sibling names.
Juliet and Miranda
Juliet and Celia
Juliet and Bianca
Juliet and Alice

Ophelia only for a burlesque performer...

Ophelia butt etc

@Pieceofpurplesky
I don't know I just fell in love with the name and you don't get a great number of babies being called Juliet. Also it sounds pretty old fashioned which I also love

@ArtisanPopcorn
Thank you!

Side note I also previously liked Juliet and Jolene as in the song Jolene it talks about how beautiful she is. But I don't know still really like the Shakespearean names and I don't know why

Didn't both Juliet and Ophelia kill themselves? I do love the name Ophelia though... If you like Shakespearean names how about Viola or Imogen. I don't think either of them killed themselves

Jolene I don't like so much, it sounds more American trailer trash than tragic heroine.

I love Juliet and Ophelia. My 4yo son is at school with an Ophelia, I think it's becoming quite popular.
I like the song Jolene but I'm not so keen on the name.
If you like unusual and old fashioned names have you considered Arthurian names as well? Guinevere, Nimueh/Nimue, Isolde/Isuelt, Morgan, Caelia, Evaine, Igraine

I love Juliet! My adult dd is named Portia which she is often complimented on.

@bearfood
I love that name, but I bet there was never a key ring with her name on lol x

If I had twin girls I could be very tempted with Juliet and Antonia or Juliet and Josephine, I also like Adaline and Antonia, and in fact any combination of the above. We know a little Ophelia and it gets shortened to Fi. You have great taste in names!

Jolene - please don’t take my man.. just because you can.

I think any of the Shakespeare heroines are better than Jolene.

My favs are Imogen, Beatrice, Rosalind. I quite like Ophelia.
