HelpRe: Ottilie, Odilia, and Ophelia
in reply to a message by Emily
Ottilie is an awkward name for me. It reminds me too muh of "otter".
Odilia, like Cordelia, strikes me as a name that's trying too hard to sound romantic and sophisticated.
Ophelia is lovely. I wonder if its tragic roots are too strong, though.

Sorry, meant to be under main post.
Ottilie and Odilia both remind me too much of parts of the ear. (Words like otitis and otoscope... I'm weird.)
I like Ophelia but it carries a bit more baggage than I like. I find it hard not to think of the insane and suicidal Ophelia from Hamlet.
