[Opinions] Re: Cornelius
in reply to a message by Kinola
Sorry, but I find Cornelius really old fashioned and almost a joke name... like if you had to name a car or something, you might call it Cornelius as a joke because it's so pretentious and over-the-top.
Cornelius Fudge from Harry Potter doesn't help!
I also don't really like any of the nicknames for Cornelius. Corey sounds really American footballer to me, and Neil is boring. Obviously other alternatives like "Corny" (?) are not really great either.
Sorry for my negative opinions, I just don't like the name. However, if it's a family name that you like, I suppose that makes it a bit better. I would personally keep it to the middle name spot.
