HelpRe: Ophelia
in reply to a message by Lily
Does it make me think of "failure? NO WAY! This is a beautiful name. It also happens to be the name of my husband's grandmother. She is THE sweetest old lady I've ever met! Hands down. The association of the character is there for me BUT if you're a fan of Shakespeare, who cares?! If we named a daughter Ophelia, I would probably nickname her Fee or Lia. That's just me, though :)
All in all, fantabulous name.

I mean because of the sound. o-FAY-lya - FAY-lya sounds a bit like failure. At least if you decide to pronounce it that way which I chose not to. I pronounce the last part as lee-ah. People have also told me it sounds like feel ya. Hmm
