Help[Opinions] Re: Ophelia
in reply to a message by vigdis
As a carefully chosen villain name, it seems like it'd be trying to be ironic, since it means "help", and the famous Shakespearean character was one of the most powerless/marginal people in the play. It sounds melodramatic, though, if that's a criteria for villain names, and current so relatable for a YA adult series.
I associate Ophelia with water, flowers, pastoral imagery plus names like old-timey sort of grand-yet-humble names like Cornelia, Calpurnia, Aurelia, Octavia, Wilhelmina plus indie rock. It's not quite as fancy as Anastasia or as folksy as Odessa or as popular and nature-y as Olivia, but it's kind of like those.
