So I've wanted to adopt children(likely two girls and a boy) for as long as I can remember, and I've always had two girl names that I have LOVED, but no one I know has shared my love.

Desdemona Margaret(NN Mona or Maggie) AND Ophelia Marilyn(NN Lia).

No one in my life likes either of these first names and say I'd be condemning my kids to lives of being mocked like I was(It wasn't TOO bad, but I'm a Georgia so I have songs to hate), but I am a Shakespeare FIEND and I adore both names so so so much.

I can't use Mona as the name for the first one, because Margaret as a middle is NOT negotiable(Margaret and Marilyn are my gran and my mom) and Mona Marilyn sounds equally weird. I think they both flow really nicely as they are, but I'm not awful and I would hate to give my kids names they would hate, but I legit find these both beautiful and stunning and can't find a way to change them and keep the spirit.

IDK, like, dislike, ideas?

I hate them both. Margaret and Marilyn make nice enough middle names that I wouldn't use, but I think Desdemona and Ophelia are really bad. I just stare at 'demon' in the middle of Desdemona whenever I see it, and Ophelia is just really ugly to me. I think Desdemona Margaret is the prettier of the two.
