Girls names

Another thread on boys baby names prompted me to post.
Not long found out i was pregnant again, so early days still{four years trying for the first - babies must be like buses}, but want some opinions.
DH and i love the name Ophelia if the new baby is another girl {DD is called Scarlett}. We are a little worried if people can pronounce it or if it a little too strange.
What do you guys think?
For boy's we like Xander, Daniel and Tom. The only other girls name we like is Aveve which is also unusual.:p

opinions (happy to help)
Ophelia is not strange - it is an "old" name certainly but nothing wrong with it at all.
If there are names you like then go with them.
The world would be a sadder place if everyone followed the same road0 -
I think Ophelia is beautiful.... from Hamlet, as she handed out the flowers she said 'There's rosemary, that's for remembrance' always remember that from schoolIn giving

Ophelia is a fabulous name. Hope that you have a girl, or an accepting boy.0

The reason i asked is when we told my MIL she said it was a strange name, i explained it was from Hamlet then she said why would i want such a old name - can't win. When i picked Scarlett she said it was a 'street walkers' name and i should go with something traditional - but i actually picked it as i love the book Gone with the wind.0
