Re: Ophelia
Well, I'm sorry if you misunderstood what I said, but you did ask for my opinion. I do love Ophelia, both on its own and as part of sibsets. I do understand that Malcolm and Scarlett are already named and are your children, so you cannot change that. However, I will phrase my answer a different way: Ophelia and Scarlett both feel like strong, dramatic, almost theatrical names to me. I was not aware of the Shakespeare connection of Malcolm-I have read only a few of his plays. Anyway, Ophelia and Scarlett, combined with Malcolm, feels unbalanced to me-Malcolm feels solid, not dramatic, to me. Therefore, if an Ophelia was added to the mix, your Malcolm may feel like the odd man out. Again, just IMO. Happy decision making.

Now I'm sorry- I hope my response didn't come off as not appreciating your comment because I truly did...just wanted to better understand what you were saying. And I totally see your point about Malcolm perhaps feeling left out...I agree that he's definitely the less dramatic of the bunch.Thanks again for taking the time to comment- very helpful!!!
