HelpRe: Cordelia vs. Cornelia
in reply to a message by Telfalathiel
This is a toss-up for me. I like both but don't love either; it's very close to 'six of one, half dozen of another.'
Cordelia sounds a hint more on trend than Cornelia, which leans toward the old lady end of things. But Nell is a more revive-able old fashioned nickname than the logical Cordelia counterpart Del. Del is old in an uncool way, hehe.
I'd probably go with Cordelia. My grandmother had a cousin Cordelia "Cordy" that she mentions fondly; that hardly means a thing to me but it'd be an interesting little snippet for my family to throw on if they mentioned the name. And for as uncool as Del is, it's a favorite female nickname of mine (usually for Fidelma).
Do you have middle name ideas? That might sway it for me.
