Ophelia is one of my top favorite girl names. In fact, it might be my favorite.
When I see it spelled Ofelia though, I can't understand it. It's so much less graceful and pretty.

It’s just because some languages don’t have the “ph” sound. It’s the same reason why Sophia becomes Sofia or Philip Felipe or Filippo.
