Help[Opinions] Ophelia and Gillian
Two names that have been on my mind lately. What do you think of them?
Here are my concerns:
Ophelia - the story of Ophelia in Hamlet is so tragic, plus I don't really think she's as wonderful and selfless as most people paint her to be. This seems like a lot to stick on a child, but maybe the majority of people wouldn't even know about the Shakespeare connection?
Gillian - Is this too 80s? To me, there's something charming and earthy about the name. Do you pronounce it with a hard or soft G? Do you think the nn "Jill" is avoidable?
