Ophelie?

in Baby Names

I don't love the name Ophelia (names that end in -a feel a little "frilly" IMO) I really like Ophelie but what are your opinions? Do you know any Ophelies?

*We will not be living in the US by the time my first starts school so I'm not particularly worried about how the name goes over in American schools.

    I don't like Ophelie, or Ophelia. I have a friend with a 10 yr old named Ophelia Peal, and she does actually regret naming her daughter that.

    I like the way it looks, but I'm not sure how to pronounce it. (Same with Amelie, a variation of Amelia.)

    I'm still trying to figure out exactly how you would pronounce that.  I prefer Ophelia.

    Is it pronounced O-FEEL-ee? Or OFE-eh-lee?

    I really don't like either. :( An emphasis on "feel-y" sounds creepy and an emphasis on "Ofe" sounds wrong too.

    Don't like Ophelie at all, and while Ophelia is beautiful, I wouldn't give my child a name known best for being a tragic character. It's a negative connotation, you know?

    To those who asked, it's o-FAY-lee.

    OP, I actually like the name.  However, I think it needs the accent mark to be pronounced correctly.

    Agreed on the accent mark! I don't know how to do it on the computer. It's mostly just one of my GP names.

    Love Ophelia but Ophelie sounds incomplete and really sticks the feel out there and makes it sound weird to me. Sorry, I don't like it at all.
