Ofelia ?

[Imnotok]

I fell in love with this name after watching Pan's labyrinth last night .
What do you think Yay or Nay .

a p AND a h otherwise it is Opelia!

It's pretty.

it';s a nay from me ...
I quite like the name Odette though...now that is a pretty name

Ed Balls's sister is called Ophelia.

Not really.

My neice is named Opelia and although I think its a pretty name I can't get away from the Hamlet association and think perhaps naming your child after a character who goes insane and ultimately drowns herself isn't perhaps the best choice.

Also agree with previous posters that Odette and Cordelia are far prettier and less troublesome in association.

Dp is saying no way to the name anyway .
He did the shouting your child in a crowded place experiment and has refused point blank to use it . Bugger.

...I quite like the Italian/Iberian spelling. But only if you're of Portuguese/Spanish/Italian descent. Otherwise it just looks like you're trying an 'original' twist on the name.

LOL Imnotok, DP was saying last night what a lovely name it was after we watched Pan's Labyrinth. He was not so keen when I explained who Ophelia was.

Ophelia is a gorgeous name but don't do it - naming your child after the most famous suicide in literature is not a good idea

Cordelia doesn't come to the best ending either it has to be said.....better than regan or goneril though
