Nameberries, I know you can help me! Recently I’ve been loving long, “old-fashioned” names for girls. My favorites are [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Theodora[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name], but I can’t think of many more :c Please help?
Note: I strongly dislike [name]Cordelia[/name], so please don’t suggest that or names similar to that!
Thanks!!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one on here who doesn’t like [name]Cordelia[/name] 
I also like long, old-fashioned or romantic names. [name]How[/name] about:

[name]Claudia[/name]

[name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name]
[name]Liliana[/name]
[name]Do[/name] you like any of those?
(I also really dislike [name]Cordelia[/name], but for some reason like [name]Cornelia[/name]. I especially hate the nickname “[name]Cordy[/name]”. I don’t know what it is about [name]Cordelia[/name]. Oh, and [name]Coralie[/name]. Hate it.)
I love [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Matilda[/name], and [name]Theodora[/name].
I also love:
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Edith[/name] (I really like the nickname [name]Edie[/name] too, and I’m not big into nicknames.)
[name]Francesca[/name] / [name]Frances[/name]
[name]Georgiana[/name] / [name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Geraldine[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] / [name]Helene[/name]
[name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Ramona[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name] / [name]Rosamund[/name]
[name]Sabrina[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Thomasina[/name]
[name]Wilhelmina[/name] (I like the nickname [name]Willa[/name] or [name]Mina[/name].)
Yes, I forgot to mention [name]Wilhelmina[/name] and [name]Cornelia[/name]!
I dislike [name]Cordelia[/name] for the [name]Shakespeare[/name] character because all I think of is a girl whose father banished her and hated her for being truthful, who died before it could all be fixed.
I love your choices

I used to like [name]Cordelia[/name], and was considering using that as a middle name for my daughter but then I thought of how mean that would be given that the character in [name]Shakespeare[/name]'s work get’s rejected and banished by her father… I didn’t want a name that echoed real life in such a negative way. So I understand the dislike of the name.
[name]Mathilda[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Evangeline[/name]
Maximilienne (though only as a middle name)
[name]Beatrice[/name]
Margaery
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Rosemonde[/name]
[name]Katharine[/name]

I am a sucker for long names, but those were my favourites.

[name]Araminta[/name] and [name]Minerva[/name], grouped together because I’d call either one [name]Minnie[/name] and I love both.
[name]Alexandrina[/name] and the slightly shorter but still 4 syllable [name]Alexandra[/name].
[name]Marguerite[/name], which just edges out [name]Margaux[/name].
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Sophronia[/name]
[name]Valeria[/name]
[name]Esmeralda[/name]
[name]Thomasin[/name]
[name]Zephirine[/name]
