I think "too old for little girls" is a silly thing to be concerned about, since little girls do not stay little girls for long and then they're adults for the rest of their lives.That said, they both seem quite fanciful and the lack of nickname possibilities for either makes them seem rather impractical on a person of any age. I could see either one as a middle name, though.

They are a little unusual for modern use, but both are beautiful. I'm sure their old feel could be softened by nicknames. Perhaps Lia or Leah and Oni? Or of course you could move them to the mn slot.

You could always come up with nicknames for them. Ophelia and Persephone are a little harder to come up with nicknames for, but if you're at a loss, just ask the good people here at BtN. You usually get great responses to stuff like that. ;)

I think they're great, but if you're worried that they're too bold of a choice, you could use them in the middle spot. Margaret Persephone and Emmeline Ophelia would sound nice.

I think your children won't be little girls for that long.Array
