Re: Cornelius
in reply to a message by Cornelius
Oh, I think this is a cool name! Your friend has a point about the Sparta voice. It's long and bold and has a lot of different sounds. The "Cor" is pretty powerful. Not many names are brave enough to straight up end in -ius before.
I was choosing between Mercer and Vanderbilt for my undergrad. Comparing the founder's names, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Jesse Mercer, made me realize that while I couldn't complain about Jesse Mercer, Cornelius Vanderbilt was just SO MUCH COOLER OF A FRIGGING NAME!!!!!!!!!!!! and went with it. Ok, that wasn't the sole factor, but I won't pretend it wasn't a part at all!
Cornelia is also really cool.
