They're both lovely - I'd go for Ophelia though.

Definitely Penelope. Can be shortened to Penny or Nelly if you like that too.

number1wang, yes! Ophelia always makes me snigger a little.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 04/07/2019 21:01

Persephone - a little different.

AverageMummy, get yourself a Womanizer vibrator and you won't feel the need to spontaneously yell 'penetration' Wink

I wanted to name my youngest Ophelia, had my heart set on it for 5 months. Until my exes mum said it out loud with his surname....Cumine (come-in)

Penelope is one of my absolute favourites so I have to choose it but I do really like Ophelia too!

magpie24 · 04/07/2019 21:49

Both gorgeous but Ophelia

whitehalleve · 04/07/2019 21:57

I like the sound of Ophelia but it's 100% a burlesque name.. Ophelia Butt being a case in point.
