I posted about Delia the other day, and BrilliantBlue suggested Cordelia nn Delia. This reminded me that I do like Cordelia a lot, like various other Shakesperean names.

However, 2 things bug me about it:

---

-doesn't it sound a bit pretentious sort of: "Look I'm a snooty literary type who names her kids after Shakesperean heroines." Oddly enough, other Shakesperean names, like Ophelia for instance, don't give me the same vibe.

---

-is the connotation with King Lear too bleak and depressing?

---

Any other thoughts on Cordelia?
