HelpRe: Ophelia
in reply to a message by Lily
Ophelia. o-FEE-lee-uh. I don't like the "f--l" sound in names, generally. But Ophelia (any prn) is alright.
o-FEH-lee-a doesn't make me think of "failure" any more than o-FEE-lee-uh makes me think of "feel ya" ... that is to say, not enough to matter, as long as it's your kid and not mine.
I don't think the character association is too strong. I worked with an Ophelia once (who was Greek, I think raised in the US). Everyone loved her name. It was said with a long ee sound.
