Help[Opinions] Re: Ophelia
in reply to a message by lola77
I love the name.
I'm not put off by the Shakespearean origins, the 'oh feel ya' thing (I pronounce it with four syllables), or the 'philia' similarity (philia means '(brotherly) love', so there are many positive things about that).

Thank you for giving me a positive spin on the 'philia' thing- it really is the only thing that makes me think twice. I too say the name with 4 syllables and don't hear the 'oh feel ya' at all...and as for Shakespeare, not bothered at all...a literary character with strong historical roots is good enough for me. I'm just entirely smitten with the names sound...so perfectly lovely!!!
