How do you say Ophelia?

Girl Names
1

[name]Do[/name] you say it with a “fee” or 'fay" sound?

2

I pronounce [name]Ophelia[/name] as “o-[name]FEEL[/name]-yuh” which I think is the most common pronunciation amongst English speakers. I know some European cultures use the “[name]FAY[/name]” pronunciation but it’s usually spelled [name]Ofelia[/name]. The French spell it Ophélie (oh-[name]FAY[/name]-lee).

3

Yeah, I pronounce it with a “fee” sound, too, although I don’t slur together the ending. I prefer all four syllables to be distinct: Oh-fee-lee-ah.

5

I too pronounce it with 4 syllables, like sugarfoot.
o-[name]FEE[/name]-lee-ah

6

I pronounce it with four syllables as well: oh-feel-ee-uh.

7

Oh- fee- lee- a

8

I say it o-fell-i-a when I read it; but I admit that its probably o-feel-i-a.

9

I also pronounce it like this!

10

I say oh-[name]FEEL[/name]-ee-yah, too. I think [name]Ophelie[/name] said “oh-fay-lee” is gorgeous, as well.

11

I tend to shorten it to three syllables: Oh-[name]FEEL[/name]-ya. But if I take my time, it’s four. I know a little [name]Ophelia[/name] who goes by Opey (her siblings gave her the nn and it stuck).

12

I say Oh-feel-yuh usually. [name]Love[/name] the name, too bad for the whole [name]Hamlet[/name] thing…

13

Definitely O-[name]FEE[/name]-lia. O-[name]Fay[/name]-lia would sound too much like oh failure.

15

oh-[name_u]FEE[/name_u]-lee-ah

16

O feel ya is how I say it

17

‘Oh-fee-lee-ah’
Emphasis on the fee.

18

I pronounce it oh-[name_u]FEE[/name_u]-lee-ah
