Love Penelope and Ophelia

Aurelia sounds better with a French accent and I think Brits butcher it a bit

My honest thoughts are that I see it quite often on people's names lists and can never understand why. It doesn't sound attractive (to me) at all and I would have hated if it was my name. I'd call myself Ella/Ellie or anything to avoid having to tell people I was Penelope/Penny.
I prefer Aurelia, Aria and Ophelia.
