Ophelia? Tallulah?

in Baby Names
We're hopefully just days (hours??!?!!) from meeting our second daughter and she remains nameless at this time. We have a list of about 15 and a few are "safe" choices, some are a little more out there, but neither DH or I have one that we love yet.

Our two more "out there" names are Ophelia and Tallulah, what are you thoughts on these two?

Please be kind - keep in mind I'm very, very pregnant! ;)

    I hadn't a neighbour with a little girl named Ophelia, and she was just the cutest little thing.  I really like the name. It has a French feel.  Tallulah is NMS at all.

    I like Ophelia better than Tallulah, but there is nothing overly wrong with Tallulah. For some reason I just hear Tallulah in a southern accent, so it 'stamps' it for me, is all. It's still a nice name, tho

    Love Ophelia. Tallulah is just ok for me. I like the way it sounds. But don't like the way it looks...

    Ophelia is pretty. Congratulations mama! Suggesting Cordelia and Delilah on the off chance that nothing sticks.

    @laurenm2123 her signature has a baby named Lydia so most likely this :) Given that maybe Adeline, Adelaide or Emmeline?

    Love Ophelia! Tallulah is NMS, but the nn Tally would be cute.

    Of the two, I like Ophelia better, though I'm not crazy about it. I like the suggestions others have made of Cordelia, Adelaide, or Emmeline.

    Thanks! I'm never not on mobile.

    I think Ophelia and Tallulah are a little out there with Lydia as a sibset.

    What about:
    Delilah
    Amelia
    Adele
    Mia
    Cora
    Isla


    Like PP suggestions of Adelaide and Emmeline

    I really dislike Tallulah. Ophelia is very nice.

    I like Ophelia.  To me, Tallulah is kind of a silly name for an adult.  But I've also never met one so who knows.

    I really like Ophelia!  Tallulah isn't bad but it's not on the same level.

    I want to like both, but don't think they'd feel natural for me in day-to-day life and are more "out there" than Lydia. Lulu would be a cute nickname for Tallulah but I agree with PP it feels like an odd name for an adult. Maybe I'm just not used to it.  I met one Tallulah, about 9 years old with a sister Eloise.  Some suggestions that might feel less "out there" but not too "safe"-
