Orpha

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 the word orphan...I don't like it.

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 :)

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.
