Cornelia, hands down!

---

I despise Cordelia. The Cord part seems really ugly, heavy, and (for some reason) fat.

---

Cornelia is way softer, prettier, melodic, and more regal.

My favorite nicknames are Cora and Connie, especially Connie.

Cordelia

---

I can't get over the 'corn'/'corny' part of Cornelia.

I'm not terribly fond of either name but I prefer Cordelia. I've used this in a story, set in the early 1900s, with the nickname Cordie.

I love Cordelia nn Delia

Cordelia hands down

---

I don't find the "corn" part very attractive, and anything Shakesperean makes my day. Delia's a cute nn. I also like Coco as a nn.

Cordelia. Cordelia has a medieval feel to it. Cornelia just sounds mean, and slightly batty.

Prefer Cordelia

Cordelia with nn Delia.

I prefer Cornelia but I like Cordelia's nn of Cordy. Of your choices, I like Cory and Delia.

I much prefer Cordelia, as the "Corn" is really prominent for me in Cornelia. I also think Cornelia has a whinier sound.

Cordelia.

I like Cordelia and hate Cornelia. The D instead of the N makes all the difference. Cornelia starts with the word "corn" which ruins it. I think Nell would be too much of a stretch, Cory is too masculine, Delia is fine.

I love Cordelia, but dislike Cornelia.

---

I like Delia (as well as Cora and Cordie/Cordy) as a nickname for Cordelia, but I dislike Cory. I also dislike Nell.

Definitely Cornelia. I think Cordelia is pretty nice as well, but I find Cornelia much more stunning. The only nickname I like for it (and that's probably only because all Cornelias I know go by it) is Connie. The others, especially Nell, don't appeal to me at all.

I'm probably in the minority, and I'm biased because Cornelius is a family name for me.

---

But I can't help being drawn to the strength of Cornelia.

---

Cordelia is pretty. But Cordelia is a girl, whereas Cornelia is a woman.

---

My favorite nn for Cornelia is Nell / Nellie or Cora. I don't really care for Cory / Corie.

Cordelia!

---

Though Cornelia would be wonderfully refreshing.

---

I thoroughly enjoy Nell and Delia.

I prefer Cordelia nn Delia.

I would go with Cordelia, mostly because I don't like the 'corny' bit in Cornelia. For Cordelia I would use the nickname Delia, Lia, Elie, or Della but I wouldn't use Cory at all.
