Help[Opinions] Re: Ophelia and Gillian
in reply to a message by Caroline
I think if I actually encountered an Ophelia in real life that it would seem pretentious. I don't think the Shakespeare connection is a bad one. Yeah, her end was tragic, but meh.
Gillian I like, and I used to really love it. I pronounce it with a J, never heard it with a hard G and would assume anyone who said it that way don't know how to pronounce it properly. But I have heard people on here say they've encountered people who said it that way, so maybe it is a legitimate pronunciation, I dunno. I think any nickname ever is unavoidable, so I wouldn't be too concerned about Jill.
