[Opinions] Re: Nicknames for Cornelius
Corey? I like that on its own.
Corny isn't very nice so I'd avoid it.Corky? Might work. My stepfather has a friend called Corky, but his name's Kenneth; no idea why he's Corky; his last name has no cor sound in it.
C plus middle initial?Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Corky is a puzzle. I was at uni with a R*bert Th*rpe who was mostly called Rob but a few people always called him Corky instead. Foolishly (I was young and polite!) I never asked why.
