[Opinions] Ophelia
While visiting my grandmother for Christmas, the discussion of potential baby names came up, and she suggested that I consider the name Ophelia (apparently it's a family name that hasn't been used in awhile). WDYT of the name, and what are some potential combos you can think of?

I think it's terrible. My stepdad's grandma was named Ophelia. That woman creeped me and my mom out the only two times we met her. That might be my hang up but it just doesn't sound pleasant to me either.

I love Ophelia and would love to use it. I'm not really a combo-thinker, but maybe Ophela Juliet or is that too much? Ophelia Evangeline, Ophelia Rose, Ophelia Josephine?

Ophelia is not a top favorite, but it is higher on my list. I like it! I think because it’s a longer first name, it would work well with a one or two syllable middle:Ophelia Rose
Ophelia Dawn
Ophelia Claire
Ophelia Celeste
Ophelia Ruby
Ophelia Lily

I love Ophelia, I had brainstormed Ophelia Lorelei a couple months ago and I'm kind of fond of it. Also Ophelia Mae (ik Mae is trite but it seems balanced with Ophelia imo)

Since its a family name, it's great as a middle, don't like it as a first

I absolutely love this name. It's definitely something you don't hear.
