I'm naming my first daughter Juliet Desdemona.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

She sounds doomed!

Still, very pretty.

Ophelia

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Juliet and Ophelia.
Romeo isn't too bad either, actually, and Benvolio is starting to grow on me.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Oh, aha, I just found my list of Shakespearean names I made a little while ago, ahaha:

Hero (oh gosh, never would use it, but it's actually pretty good. Maybe it would make a cool middle name?...No.)
Oliver
Nathaniel
Ariel (though if used at all, it would be on a girl)
Adrian
Tybalt

Titania
Viola
Alice
Miranda
Silvia

Hero was a girl

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I stand corrected.
Thank you.
