[Opinions] Re: Ophelia and Gillian
in reply to a message by Caroline
Ophelia for me is this painting:
and 'drowned' would be my first word association. Also, while it looks pretty, it undeniably sounds like 'oh feel ya' or 'oh failure', depending on your favoured pronunciation. So no, not a fan.
I love Gillian. It doesn't seem 80s to me - all the Gillians I've known were older than that, and anyway, it's unusual enough not to feel dated. I think Gill (which I don't mind at all) is likely, but I have known a Gillian who wasn't one, so it is possible. It would be really great to see a little Gillian. I would yay loads.:)
