Too much literary baggage with Ophelia?

Both DH and i love the name Ophelia but are worried that it carries way too much literary baggage, what with Hamlet's Ophelia eventually committing suicide. It's an uncommon name and i wonder if that's the main reason that it is so uncommon. Thoughts?

I think Hamlet is mostly to blame.  I think it's a lovely name; however, I wouldn't want to name my daughter anything that could be altered to say "feel-ya".
