Curious what impressions of [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] are.
[name_m]French[/name_m] variant of [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], pronounced “oh-fay-lee”
I love [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], but personally, it’s a little too frou frou for my taste, so I like that [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] shortens the name by a syllable and takes away the -ia ending. I think of [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] as uniquely chic.
Obviously there may be spelling and pronunciation issues, but thoughts beyond that? Impressions of the name itself?
I really like [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] but don’t think that it takes away from [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]'s “frou frou” and maybe even adds some?!
It’s definitely chic but also very sweet ([name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], etc. all have the same amount of frills and sweetness to them as [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f]).
When thinking about it, [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] is a very different name than [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] to me. While the latter is dark blues, outer space, nebulas, high trees with the morning sky peaking through the leaves, [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] is shades of pink and orange to me, the smell of [name_m]French[/name_m] pastries and baguette, a [name_m]French[/name_m] bob haircut and little towns with pastel coloured houses.
Where [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] creates and image if wildness and freedom, where I can see her running barefoot through the tall grass in her little
dress, [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] seems more tamed. She’d play on the playground, with her dollies or is out shopping with her Maman, wearing her peter-pan-collared dress (same as [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]'s just cleaner) knee socks and buckle shoes.
Not sure if that’s what you meant with your question but this is [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] to me.
