hi, berries! first time poster, longtime lurker. i’m looking for a quirky, bohemian middle for cordelia. our first is felix ellington. i love that his first name is so steeped in history, but also a little bit quirky, a little bit left of centre; cordelia, on the other hand, is pretty right swinging. my baby name tastes are not. but there’s just something about cordelia that i love, and it’s one of the only names that we can agree on. i would, however, really like an earthy middle name to balance it out. our last name is two syllables and starts with an o. i would like to avoid rose, lily, daisy, etc, as they are quite popular. it’s quite likely she’s going to be called cece, so any middles that start with a c would be a bonus! tia!!

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Clover[/name_f] is breathtakingly lovely!
I’m focusing on names that feel substantial and down to earth - nothing frilly or frothy or cutesy. I think “earthy” is quite a subjective concept though, so these might not fit for you (I’m also not familiar with the phrase “right swinging” so I might be missing the point of your post).
I’m avoiding names that end in ‘a’ and names that have already been suggested. There are -a names that feel substantial and earthy to me ([name_f]Bertha[/name_f], [name_f]Hilda[/name_f], [name_f]Rosa[/name_f], [name_f]Moira[/name_f], etc) but the double -a endings seem to lift the combo up, ending on a light note, rather than anchoring [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].

I’m not sure I understand exactly what you are going for, but when I read the previous poster’s suggestion of [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] it really stood out for me. I thought it would make a wonderful pairing with your son’s name. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] would also work well.
