My family dislikes the baby name my husband chose...advice?

My daughters name is Olivia Grace, I think Ophelia Grace is beautiful too!!!

I love the name Ophelia! (It reminds me of my favorite content creator Ophelia Nichols aka mama tot) I honestly think that rose, Nichols or joy sounds good! But go with what yall both love, look up some middle names that sounds good with ophelia you’ll find a bunch!

Mignon…

Pronounced: Minyon -
like the steak, filet Mignon

I’ve always loved the name Silver for a girl and also, Reign.

I love the Ophelia Parker. I get the hesitancy of what the initials would say but, honestly, you’ll probably NEVER see it that way. Anytime you would do a monogram, you’d (usually) follow the FLM format; making it OMP. Especially for a girl. Sometimes the FML format is for boys…that or the stacked monogram. I think for a girl, it’s fine. As a southern woman, this is definitely something I took into consideration, too. :grinning:

Ophelia Rose, who cares what everyone thinks. It’s not a dumb name like some out there so do it lol

Your family doesn’t have to like the name. You do and I think it’s a beautiful name!

Ophelia is adorable, Oppy for short, lia for short. It’s cute, almost named my daughter Ophelia.

You and your husband get to pick the name. Marie goes well with it. Maureen. I personally like it better as a middle name. I know someone named Nancy Ophelia.

My co-worker’s name is Ophelia and she is the most beautiful person. I can think of so many beautiful middle names that fits with it. Gl lil momma!

Ophelia Hope? Then you would have OHM. Peaceful

I like:
Ophelia Grace
Ophelia Leann

My father named me euphemia let him do what he wants with his girl shouldn’t matter what anyone thinks it’s what makes yous happy that matters

Ophelia May, Ophelia Rose.

Ophelia Rose
Ophelia Pearl
Ophelia Rain
Ophelia Grace
Ophelia Willow
Ophelia River
Ophelia Belle

Congratulations :balloon: lots of times when others don’t like or can’t pronounce a name correctly they give them a nickname
So be prepared that might happen!

It’s your baby you name her what you want. Others named their baby now its your turn…

Ophelia June, Ophelia Faith, Ophelia Hope, Ophelia Faye, Ophelia Lillian,

Ophelia Giselle. I rarely comment on posts, but when I read your post this name popped in my head immediately. I love the name Ophelia, its a name you don’t hear very often and it is beautiful.

After I read this post the first name that came to my mind was Ophelia Grace. But I also like Parker and Rose…And it definitely shouldn’t matter what your family has to say when it comes to YOUR and your HUSBAND’S child.

What about Ophelia Rose Parker …

Ophelia Grace is pretty. I also like Rayne and Willow. But, Parker is super cute too!

Forget what everyone else thinks… is it so deep that they won’t have a relationship with her bc of her name? And if it is, well then they’ve done you a favor in helping to identify who to keep away from your child.

Love Jade as middle name.

Once they see her her name will fit her. I didn’t really like the name our son and daughter in law picked but one that precious baby was here her name fit her perfectly. Can’t imagine it being anything else. They can always give her a nickname.

I like Ophelia Jade or Ophelia James…really I just think a ‘J’ middle name goes nicely with her first name.

Who cares what your family thinks! It’s YOUR baby, not theirs! I like the name Ophelia. It’s different and beautiful :heart: I also like what others have commented, Ophelia Rose.

My brother and his wife couldn’t decide between Henry or Hudson and I was all about Hudson but they did the opposite of what everyone else thought and went with Henry. When it comes down to it it was their child lol. But Henry just fits him so much.I can’t see him being a Hudson. It was the perfect name after all.

Ask him how often he thinks she’s hear “I want Ophelia boobs” from immature guys as she gets older. Not saying she should have to put up with it, I just know immature individuals find amusement on being asses.

Most monograms have the last name initial as the largest in the center.
How many people go by their three initials anyway?
In my opinion, he gets to pick the first name, and maybe you can pick a different middle name.

Ophelia violet is my sudjustion. Unfortunately with the first and last initials being O & M almost everything will sound like opium :laughing:. Go with the flow and roll with it. As for the family’s likes and dislikes…it’s disappointing when people we care and value don’t like the same things we do. Especially in something of this size but that’s the thing, this decision is so big only you & your partner can make it. Anything eles could turn into regret.

What is the fathers name?

Your child’s name is the first gift you give to them (other than life). Its your baby name your baby what you want. I think its a beautiful uncommon name.

Ophelia Nell would be cute

It’s a beautiful name and when it comes down to it name me and your baby is a choice between you and your husband and no one else

Ophelia Nichols what do you think?

I know it’s hard but don’t listen. All I heard from the time I knew I was having a girl was that the Name we chose, Lydia, was homely. No other name would fit my 9 year old (btw named from Beetlejuice) I like Ophelia Charlotte and Ophelia Victoria

So what about what your family says… the child is ours and your husband’s. Name the child whatever you want. Your family will have to deal with it.

Name her what you want. I did that with my son because my MIL didn’t like the name Dayton. We ended up naming my son Jayton.

Ophelia Parker is a beautiful name

Everybody disliked my sons name until he was born and then nothing said again Rose is nice :rose:

What about Ophelia James?

Its not their baby. You and your husband make that decision. No one else.

It’s a beautiful name If you both love her name don’t worry about others opinions my husband wanted our daughter to name our Grandaughter Cheyenne and didn’t care for Chanley but once he saw her he told our daughter she didn’t look like a Cheyenne SHE’S MY Chanley Caroline only Grandaughter has had poppa wrapped around her finger ever since :cupid:

Don’t give her a middle name. And Ophelia is great

If it makes you feel better, this was total coincidence lol but my kids are
PM
AM
LM
MM :joy:

it’s not “everyone is your family’s “ baby! if you and your husband agreed on a name then everyone else’s opinion is irrelevant.

ophelia mae
ophelia grace
ophelia rae

Nobody calls you by initials anyway go with it

Ophelia Rae💕 or Mae
Ophelia Rebekah
Ophelia Nichole
Ophelia Danielle

How do either of the grandmothers names pair with Ophelia?

You could use one, or both, of their first or middle names as her middle name.

And honestly, what anyone else thinks of your baby name is irrelevant. I know I’m nobody to you, but I love the name! It’s not often heard anymore.

Plus, those that don’t like the name, can give her a nickname.

Ophelia Marie or Ophelia Rosa

Ophelia River, Ophelia Parker, Ophelia RAIN, Ophelia Jaylyn

Ophelia Grace.But its your baby so name her what you want and dont worry about what anybody else thinks

Who cares what they think. Your baby, your name choice.

First of all it’s a beautiful name. Second it doesn’t matter what they think. This is your and your husbands baby. My family doesn’t like my youngest kids name and I could care less.

Ophelia Jayne
Ophelia Ruth
Ophelia Danielle
Ophelia Renae
Ophelia Shanelle
Ophelia Elaine
The possibilities are endless!

Ophelia may be a lovely, old fashioned name, but I fear what her elem and middle school peers will do to terrorize her based on her name. Look up Ophelia jokes and puns and you’ll see what I mean.

Ophelia skye
Ophelia rae
Ophelia briar
Ophelia hart
