[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] - stuck up and pretentious or beautiful and sweet?
I’ve always thought that the name [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] (meaning heart or daughter of the sea) is beautiful. It makes me think of the strong and selfless supreme witch [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] Goode from American horror story, but I understand alot of people dislike the nane or think it sounds stuck up and pretentious… what do you think?
Honestly, [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] has never appealed to me personally. But, I definitely don’t find it pretentious at all! I think it fits with longer classic/vintage names that are popular in much of the English-speaking world like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_u]Florence[/name_u] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].
I think it’s beautiful and not stuck up. While the names makes me think of elegance and gold - it also paints a picture for me of a girl by the beach collecting shells with pigtails and a big smile
I like [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] very much! From the [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] reference to the much more personal fact that it’s my cousin’s middle name… I think that [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] feels in the resting, bright, and wearable. It’s such a cool name. I don’t find it pretentious, personally, at all. It’s too romantic, flowy, and literary to be so!
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is lovely! I don’t think it sounds pretentious at all. It’s floral, sweet and whimsy to me.
What beautiful imagery! Thank you for your comment!
Wether or not it’s wearable really concerned me at first, but all of the comments so far are really positive! Thank you for commenting.
For me, [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is sweet, elegant and strong!! [name_u]Love[/name_u] the meaning and literary vibe
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] took a lot of time to warm up to me, but it did! I never thought it was pretentious. I like that it has many wonderful connotations, and that made me like the name in the first place. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] appears in Shakespeare’s play [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Lear[/name_m], after whom a moon of Uranus is also named. She is also mentioned in [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Spenser’s works and the ocean connection is there through the meaning
I do not really like [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] because of the [name_m]Cord[/name_m] part but I like [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] a lot.
The meaning is good too
I like [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] a lot. I wouldn’t call it sweet.
I think [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is elegant and spirited; she sounds like someone who knows their mind.
The only thing that I don’t love about it are nicknames [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Cordy[/name_f] and Cory; they’re just not my style; I do like [name_u]Kitty[/name_u] as a nickname but as you’d never know if it would stick, I primarily love [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] as a middle name 
cordelia is elegant and just a little posh but not at all stuck up and pretentious !! i think it’s so charming and lovely, and feels quite cosy and gentle. if it’s a consolation, it’s medium-common around me - i know three or four, and it’s always felt like a lovely but pretty normal name. i have absolutely no doubts of its usability !!
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is one of my all time favorite names (both the ee and eh pronnunciation!)
To me, it gives off a calming, nature-loving, poetic feeling. It’s unique enough that a [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] probably wouldn’t have to add a last initial in daily life, but known enough that it isn’t totally unfamiliar. There are also tons of nickname possibilities!
I know a little [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] and I love it on her. Lots of cute nicknames too!
One of my absolute favourites. I would of used this for my daughters if my husband had agreed!
Sweet! It’s my daughter’s middle name and I love it.
It’s not stuck up and pretentious. It’s historical and literary. And it’s gorgeous.
I don’t see the appeal of it.
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is one of my favourites of all time. It’s classic, beautiful and soo pretty. It sounds like the kind daughter of a duke to me.
