Ophelia nn? Ollie?

I have a great grandmother named [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and would love to honor her and my grandfather who told me stories about her.

While I love [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] it does seem a little heavy for everyday. Is [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] too much of a stretch as a nickname? Is there another option I’m not seeing?

I think [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] could work as a nickname for [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], but I would personally use [name_f]Fifi[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Lila[/name_f] instead.

I really like [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] as a nickname for [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]. Definitely not a stretch, and it’s so cute!

I would also suggest [name_f]Lia[/name_f], in case you haven’t considered it.

I actually like Ophie for a nn!

[name_u]Ollie[/name_u] would be a great nn for [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], I definitely don’t think it is a stretch. Some other suggestions for nicknames are,

  • Ophie
  • Phelie
  • [name_f]Elle[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Lia[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Ella[/name_f]
  • [name_u]Elia[/name_u]

I love [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], and I think the nickname [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] is adorable.

I think [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is beautiful and [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] definitely works! I read a book where a character’s name was [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and she went by Feely. I even think [name_f]Elfie[/name_f] (re-arranging sounds) could work!
Other options: [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_u]Elia[/name_u], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f],

[name_u]Ollie[/name_u] is cute. I also like Phe ([name_u]Fee[/name_u])

[name_u]Ollie[/name_u] screams “boy” to me. I really like [name_f]Fifi[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f].

I love it! :smiley:

What a beautiful name, but the nn of [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] doesn’t do this [name_u]Justice[/name_u], but maybe for close family members. :wink: I would insist on most everyone call her by her full name.

I love the name [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]! I love the full name most but I think [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] is such a cute nickname ”

I’d use [name_f]Fifi[/name_f]

I have close called [name_f]Elle[/name_f] (L) [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]. I call her Ophie
