Cecilia and Leonardo strike me as more romantic sounding than Cordelia and Theodore. I really like Cordelia, and I enjoy Theodore (especially NN Theo), but between the two pairs, I'd take Cecilia and Leonardo. I love Cecilia; it's so feminine and soft, and Celia is a great NN. Leonardo has the NN Leo which I also adore, and while I like Theodore in and of itself, the meaning just sticks in my mind and kind of ruins it for me. I don't have hangups about a Leonardo, and Da Vinci is a wonderful namesake.

I agree with Bear that Italian names seem to fit with them.
Antonia (grin), Octavia, Lucia, Allegra, Adriano, Agostina, Benedetto, Bettina, etc.
