[Opinions] Re: Ophelia and Gillian
in reply to a message by Caroline
I think Gillian (and for that matter Lillian) are more classic names, like Elizabeth or Catherine, or even Lily. A few people get named them every decade. Maybe more than a few were in the 80s, but it definitely isn't like Amanda, Tiffany, Brittany, Stephanie... which just screams "I was born in the 80s" to me.
I really like Gillian, and I think it is lovely. I think Jill is more avoidable if you use Gillian.
Ophelia was one of my favorites for a long time. It's in our family tree, and it has a lovely sound, but I couldn't get over the Shakespeare association, either.
