Olivia is too common for me. :)

I think it's beautiful. Ophelia is a nice alternative to the too-common Olivia.
I like the Shakespearian reference. Ophelia is one of my favorite characters. Some people might not like it as a name because Shakespeare's Ophelia didn't come to such a great end (she went mad and drowned herself). However, she was also very innocent, romantic, and loyal to her family; those are great qualities.

I think you've asked this before, but I love Ophelia Rose (and Olivia Rose). Great choices. Oh, and one of my grandma's friends was named Ophelia and her nickname was Fi (pronounced Fee)

I like it. It's a nice alternative to Olivia. Plus, it's a Shakespearean name. Some people don't like it because Ophelia is Latin for "help". Not a huge deal to me, personally, but I know some people don't like it.

it's lovely but it's like you got it from a romance novel. hehehe... i don't know with you but very romantic names, especially the ones for girls, aren't my cup of tea. i prefer olivia rose even though olivia is more common than ophelia

It sounds great to me! But what about Ophelia Madison? Or Ophelia May?
STAY in school!

I have never heard of this name... I am taking a latin class right now in school and I learned that it means help. So yeah, but I do think that it is a beautiful name. It has a nice flow.
