in reply to a message by rose in its prime
This may be a pretty unpopular opinion, but... it's definitely NMS. But it's okay.

Your taste in names is fine! People who like Cordelia aren't any "better" than people who don't.
I think lots of people on this forum like stuff like "Cordelia" because we often like names that are interesting and different from the norm, and Cordelia is a good example of that in Western/English culture. It's a rarely-used name from an old, famous play, total name nerd stuff. You have a different cultural perspective, that's all.
I'm curious about what the equivalent would be in Korea. What would people name their kids if they wanted to use names that feel romantic, historical, and dramatic?

Thank you. I will refrain from using such words in the future. Now that I think about it, I think it's not polite to other people who don't like Cordelia.
And In Korea, pure Korean names are the most popular names with a romantic feel. Regarding historical things, as far as I know, in Korea, names that are popular in a certain era are usually used quite often, so there are not many names that are timeless (ex. Jiwon).
Example:
Ga-eul/가을
Mirinae/미리내
Areum/아름
Ha-neul/하늘
