WDYT of Cornelia? Any middle name suggestions? **Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam/Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine, and a side order of ham**

I really love it. A lot better than Cordelia. It sounds elegant but not too posh for me.
I imagine it on a long blonde haired girl like Cornelia from W.I.T.C.H.If I were to name a child this I might just stick to the full name, or maybe call her Corey which is growing on me.

I absolutely love it! I met a teenage Cornelia while I was in Denmark and I may have freaked her out a little with my swooning over her name. Cornelia Mary

It’s okay, pretty but I’m not so keen on the ‘corn’ beginning. I prefer Cordelia which is beautiful.

Been used too frequently and for too long where I live, and that goes for Cornelius and Kerneels as well.Usually shortens to Corrie round here, though I knew a Catherine Cornelia once whose nn was Nel.

I like it a lot - I enjoy it's Ancient Roman roots, and it reminds me of cornucopias. It feels very classic and ornamental, but more quiet and subdued than Cordelia.

I think of beehive hairstyles for some reason. I associate it with Claudia, maybe? Also Aurelia, Septima, and cornucopias.It seems dignified, retro, low-key, but at the same time, somewhat poofy and kind of an oddball. I like it but don't love it.Cornelia Sage

I really like it and I think it works well on a living person. Cornie is not a good nickname. Cor is fine. Corrie is fine. I know a Cornelia "Connie" but I don't think anyone ever calls her Cornelia.Cornelia Phoebe

That is my niece's name. She's 14. It's okay. They call her Nela.

I think it's ugly. It sounds like something hard and scaly growing on your feet.

I can't get past the "corn" beginning. My cousin's sister in law has a son named Cornelius and they actually call him Corny. Imagine. His siblings are Frances, Ada, Genevieve, and Theodore. It's quite the sibset.

do you remember ...Mister Roger's Neighborhood of Make-Believe, where one puppet was called Corny? His name was Cornflake S. Peshally.

I hate the "corn" part of Cornelia, therefore, I hate the name. I do like Cordelia.

Cordelia reminds me of bloody umbilical cords.

You have both summarised why I cannot bring myself to like either Cordelia or Cornelia. I did know a Cornelia, she was (well, is) an academic and a really lovely lady. You sort of get past the corn when it’s a real person, but I still can’t make myself like the name. I think Nell would be a sweet nickname though.

I've recently taken a liking to Cornelia. I think it might be because of the Taylor Swift song "Cornelia Street". It has an understated beauty to it. However, I do think people where I live would be like, "You named your child WHAT?!" Zero babies were named Cornelia in at least the past five years here.

I love Cordelia but Cornelia is harsh and unattractive.

Dislike. It's somewhat popular here, I know at least two people with the name anda teacher once called me Cornelia. I think it's the cor- part that I dislike. Nelia is sweet. Cornelia Inez
