Nicknames for Cordelia

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], everyone. Disaster has struck, my [name_m]SIL[/name_m] has just named her daughter [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], usurping my dream twin sibset of [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]- [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] and [name_f]Bea[/name_f]. So now I’m on the hunt for a new name. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is definitely the front runner, but the trouble is I’m not a fan of any of her traditional nicknames. I’m a very nicknamey kind of person, with a very nicknamey kind of family, whatever her name will be, it will be shortened one way or another, so the fact that [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]'s nicknames aren’t my style are really putting me off the name. I’m not a fan of [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_u]Dell[/name_u], [name_f]Lia[/name_f], [name_u]Cory[/name_u] and my OH is adverse to [name_f]Coco[/name_f] (wah). I’m stumped as to what other nicknames there could be. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is gorgeous and it holds a lot of significance to me, being the name of my grandmother. Any help would be appreciated. :slight_smile:

This is a tough one! I started looking up the word ‘heart’ and ‘sea’ in other languages to go with [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]'s meaning.

[name_f]Didi[/name_f] or [name_f]Deedee[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordy[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is a beautiful name. We call ours [name_f]Cordy[/name_f] or [name_f]Deedee[/name_f]. As you were going to use [name_f]Bea[/name_f] anyway perhaps [name_f]Dee[/name_f] is the nickname?
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] and [name_f]Dee[/name_f] is a bit samey though…[name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_f]Dee[/name_f]?
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] and Deelee?
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] and [name_u]Lee[/name_u]?

I love the names [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] & [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]! [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is my favourite boys name :slight_smile: I love [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] as well and I also hate the traditional nicknames. My favourite(s) are [name_f]Elle[/name_f] & [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. My dream sibset is [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] & [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], but [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] & [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] are lovely together, too! :slight_smile:
