I love love love [name]Ophelia[/name]. Also find NNs [name]Effie[/name] an Ophie ([name]Sophie[/name] without ‘s’) charming, also.
[name]Ophelia[/name] is my favorite from the list. But, my Absolute [name]Favorite[/name] is [name]Cordelia[/name] (which is my soon-to-be twin girl’s name). 
I love all of these - but unlike everyone else, I love [name]Ophelia[/name] the least!
For me, [name]Ophelia[/name] is really strongly connected with [name]Shakespeare[/name]. If I read a book with that character name I’d probably expect her to act and turn out similarly to [name]Ophelia[/name]. Though I suppose she could go by [name]Philly[/name], which would be cute.
The other names aren’t quite as strongly connected since they’re more widely used.
[name]Helena[/name] is very stately and makes me think of someone elegant and proud.
[name]Celia[/name] is softer, has a more fun loving feel. You could use Cece or [name]Lia[/name] or Celee
[name]Viola[/name] is kind of between the two. Statuesque but with a bit of viv and vigour. [name]Vivi[/name] is kinda cute.
Wow, that’s really difficult! I love [name]Celia[/name], but something always holds me back from considering using it. [name]Viola[/name] is beautiful, but my least favorite of these four. It would be between [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Helena[/name] for me. [name]Just[/name] depends on how connected to [name]Shakespeare[/name] you want the name to be. I totally agree that [name]Ophelia[/name] is the name on your list that has the strongest connection to [name]Shakespeare[/name].
