[Opinions] Ajax and Ophelia
I was just horrified by a realisation. Ajax and Ophelia (in mythology and literature) both killed themselves! Would these names be awful to use in a sibset? Or would anybody even notice? (Don't worry, I wouldn't throw in Echo, haha).

I think that it makes the names more interesting. I don't really like names that are all about the fantasy of a perfect person. I prefer names that are a bit jaded (just not names that are obviously jaded like Adolf).

Ophelia is established as a name, so it doesn't really bug me. But Desdemona would, maybe because it's less used as a given name, or for the name itself. Ajax bugs me because it's also a brand of detergent, but if you live in a country where people wouldn't make this connection then I guess it won't matter, sice very few people are familiar with the story

I agree with Sabrina.And most people don't know the stories behind Ajax and Ophelia anyway. Personally, I think they're great! :)

No [m]if you like them go for it people use Romeo and Juliet [sometimes as sibs] and they killed themselves.
