Ophelia????

[Jazzicatz]

?

I love it

Had a friend at school called Effie (real name Ophelia)

I have a friend who has a baby named this. I think it is original, unusual and lovely.

Ophelia..............boobs

Ha ha ha ha haha

NO!

boobs ???

I don't get it......

aah....now I do

feelya boobs

surely noone in real life would think this if you introduced your daughter as Ophelia?

Same as Siobham!

Sorry. I would. There was a comedian years ago who took the piss out of the name. For that reason.

How is it pronounced?

Ofeelia

as long as your surname isn't Balls

I likw it i think its nice not too weird sounding...

I don't like it it is a little bit too "out there" for me, but I admit it does have a pretty ring to it. I am sure someone called Ophelia is not likely to be hanging around people making crass boobs comments so you don't need to worry about that one!

The connection with the doomed Ophelia in Hamlet would put me off. Why name a baby after a poor mad girl who drowns herself?

In itself it is a pretty name, though.

NO! It sounds pretty but Ophelia was Hamlet's lover in Shakespeare's play. She went mad after he dumped her, and committed suicide.

Sorry, cross posted with princessglitter

great minds think alike

I work with an Othelia - I like the name, different and pretty.

nice...........but shooting up in the popularity stakes so be warned....might not be as "original" as you think....

I asked about Byron the other week - not so popular. I am not pregnant - but Byron and Ophelia may be good to call the kittens when I get them!

niet

I love it. Especially Effie for short. Lovely

I love the name but ...

you do know she was a bit of a cissy and ended up drowned?

It's a very pretty name, a lovely word to say....but it is a teensy bit poncy.

Don't like it. Sorry.
