Help[Opinions] Re: Cornelia
in reply to a message by Marie
I can't get into it because the first syllable says "corn." I just can't get past that. And Corny would be a most horrible nickname, in my opinion.
I do, however, really like Cordelia. It's just a tad harsher than Cornelia, and putting the D instead of the N in there makes all the difference---no more corn. Lets the other parts of the name, the C beginning and the very pretty "delia" ending stand free, unencumbered by corn. And Delia makes a great nickname for Cordelia.

I see where you're coming from. The "Corn" part does tend to put a lot of people off the name, but for some reason it doesn't bother me. I actually really prefer the sound of Cornelia to Cordelia, probably because I don't really like the -delia sound at the end.
