Eloise or Ophelia

[Sunflowers1999]

Eloise or Ophelia? Surname pronounced Lour-tun (spelled differently)

I always add ‘boobies’ on the end to Ophelia, some crap joke from the 80s I think…

Ophelia Tits

I don't really like Eloise because I've seen it written as Elouise on here. Ugh!.
Both names are long so they'll probably be shortened.

Oh, interesting! I know three people named Eloise and none are shortened! The two Ophelia’s I know go by Pippa and Olive. I imagine the more natural nickname is Fi though?

Eloise is lovely.

Eloise is beautiful, pretty for a baby but sophisticated for a grown lady. And not as widely used as Elodie I don’t think

I add balls.

I have an Ophelia so am biased as I love the name but I think it works well with your surname too.

Eloise for sure

Eloise is prettier and goes well with your surname

Eloise.

I have a Daisy Eloise :)

Eloise is a lovely name but she will be yet another one of the hundreds of Ellies currently out there.
Ophelia is utterly beautiful.

Eloise is my favourite

Ophelia is not very well liked on this board but I love it - I’m glad it’s gaining in popularity now (as it would have probably been considered “a bit much” a decade or two ago). I find it elegant and romantic sounding (and think nn Effie is cute) - the Shakespeare tragedy link doesn’t bother me as I’ve seen a few feminist revisions of Hamlet so I associate Ophelia more positively.

But Eloise is pretty enough, and quite French chic sounding.

I’m not keen on either - both too frilly for my taste - but of the two I’d pick Eloise.

I have an Eloise so I'm biased! I picked it because it's not too common, pretty for a baby but a strong name for an adult woman.
No one calls her Ellie although people often spell her name as Elouise which is annoying

I much prefer Eloise and it sounds lovely with your surname.

Ophelia on the other hand is quite a mouthful with your surname. With the l sound coming near the end of Ophelia, it runs somewhat into the start of your surname.

I always think Ophelia is a bit of a pretentious mouthful. I love Eloise though.

Agreed.
The Ophelias I know match their names. It's also quite popular now.
Eloise is very pretty and under the radar.

Eloise

I would also suggest Eliza.

Eloise has dropped out of the top 100 now, which surprised me. I think it's lovely.

Love Eloise, or what about Louisa? Similar to Eloise but ends in the same A sound as Ophelia

Eloise is lovely with your surname.

I also like Louisa, Eliza, Alice and Alize.

Eloise

Ophelia is too tragic

Estella might be an option?

I also like Odessa, but suspect its marmite

Eloise is beautiful.

I love Eloise.
