I've liked it for about 20 years. I think it will re-enter the Top 1000 again soon. It's a great alternative to Lydia, and has lots of potential nicknames to choose from.

I love this name! It’s one of my favorites. I find it very elegant and classy.

Adding a Cor does nothing to enhance or improve Delia, which is perfectly OK in its own right.

It’s ok.

Decent but I much prefer Ophelia.

Cordelia is very striking and authoritative. It's a person with a lot of inner strength and gumption. With that said, I'd be lying if I said it was my favorite of the -elia names. I generally preferred softer Alternatives in Ophelia, Odelia, Adelia etc. I like Cornelia on a theoretical level but I have trouble getting past the corn prefix. Cordelia definitely wins out between the two for that one. It also has significantly more personality and originality than Amelia.

My associations: snobbish old-lady, tangled cords and Dell. But mostly electrical cords. No offence.

It used to be one of my favorites as a teenager. It's cute, I like it.
