I'm just in the same situation as you: I want to like it badly, too, but it doesn't really make it for me. I think it looks beautiful, but it looks much better than it sounds, this is the problem!
Also, Ofèlia (the Catalan form) has a kind of old-ladyish feeling to me, but I think I could see it on a real little girl, and I'm sure it ages well.
