I like the name but I can't stop thinking about the words orphan or awful when I say it.

It's not such a bad name, I mean, to me there are some that sound worse (like Bertha, for example, or Glenna) but I understand people who have reservations with the name. I mean, the name doesn't sound like a name, it's too weird, the loudness is a bit aggressive, and it can be misinterpreted with the word "orphan". Honestly, I think there are much prettier traditional names that are hardly used, such as Lavinia, Ottilie, Emeraude, Apolline... Choosing "Orpha" among all the names there is seems like a bit of a hasty decision, but I respect it. At least your daughter won't have to share her name with other girls in her class.

Reminds me of Orphan... I would use Orpah and Oprah, but not this.

Why hasn't anyone said something about the word "orphan"? I think Orpha is a pretty name but it'll be teasing material because of the word orphan. Thanks for reading :)

In what Bible translations is Orpha used for Orpah? I cannot find any such use in online concordances I have consulted. The only instance of "Orpha" being used for Orpah I can find is in "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ", the book based on the controversial visions of the German Roman Catholic nun Anna Katherine Emmerich (1774-1824). Though Emmerich was beatified in 2004, her visions are very controversial. Many also think her visions were altered by Clemens Brentano, the poet who actually wrote the book based on them after interviewing her.
I think Orpha is probably an alteration, either by mistake or deliberately, of Orpah by blending it with the other Old Testament name Ophrah, and perhaps also influenced by Orpheus. But I am skeptical as to that spelling really turning up in the Book of Ruth in any Bible translation. [noted -ed]

Sounds like the name of an old lady.

My grandmother's name is Orfa (derived from Orpha). I think this name is ugly. I'm extremely glad I don't have her name. It kind of sounds like a walrus or dog bark.
