Thoughts on potential girls name..

Grace Ophelia. Looks lovely written down but not sure it rolls off the tongue. What are your thoughts?

I love the name grace but Ophelia is a burlesque name. Ophelia butt.

Sounds like a sort of sexual perversion when you say it out loud tbh.

I was thinking this too! 😬

Ophelia Grace flows better... Although actually, it does sojnd a bit like 'I'll feel ya, Grace'.

What about Aurelia or Ophira as a middle?

I agree Ophelia Grace sounds better

I'm not keen on either of them.

Grace sounds quite harsh, and Ophelia is sounds too much like Feel ya.

Middle names aren't used much. How does Grace Surname sound?

Not a fan of either personally and I don't think they roll off the tongue particularly well.

Ophelia is very much tacky drag queen... Ophelia balls is very well known on my local nightlife scene.

I love Ophelia Grace. Ophelia is on my list

I don't get the mumsnet hate for Ophelia. I know a couple IRL and it's never seemed anything out of the norm.

Greta Ophelia

Love both Ophelia and Grace though

I love the name Ophelia -so poetic sounding, but it doesn't work with my surname as it sounds a bit rude. Grace Ophelia seems fine to me - Grace is very popular at the moment but it's also a fairly classic, elegant name. So if Grace Ophelia works with your surname, I say go for it.

I really like Grace in the first name spot. I'm not a massive fan of Ophelia though, sorry.

Grace Olivia is very similar - begins with O, 4 syllables and is also Shakespearean.

Or:

• Grace Mariana or Grace Isabella or Grace Emilia or Grace Adriana or Grace Angelica or Grace Cordelia - all also Shakespearean

• Grace Eliana or Grace Evangeline or Grace Athena - also Greek

I agree Ophelia Grace sounds better

This

I like it a lot although Grace slightly overused perhaps

Have you thought about Olympia? Great name, almost used for DD.

It does not sound like a sexual perversion!!

I think Grace Ophelia is the best way round - but either works. Both good names

I had a DD called Grace and I live Ophelia too!

I like Grace Ophelia. The longer middle name balances the shorter first name.

Grace Cordelia
Grace Miranda
Grace Eliana
Grace Marianne
Grace Penelope

I think it’s beautiful

I'm another who thinks Ophelia is slightly comical. Brings out my inner schoolboy humour.

Olympia as mentioned above is great though. Very dramatic. In a good way.
