Juliet on both counts–prettier and which name I’d rather have. Both aren’t really my style, but I think Cordelia’s a little too bold and grand for me. It’s a name that really turns heads. Juliet is by no means meek or plain (it’s romantic and majestic, and the more obvious Shakespeare connotation helps with both), but it’s less imposing than Cordelia for me.

Oh they both are gorgeous and romantic names! I cant choose!  
At this moment in time, I’m going to say [name\_f]Juliet[/name\_f], but that is definitely subject to change!

I really like [name\_f]Cordelia[/name\_f]! It’s used less than [name\_f]Juliet[/name\_f]. Pretty, but also spunky and has great nicknames (if you intend to use nicknames) such as [name\_f]Cora[/name\_f], [name\_f]Delia[/name\_f], [name\_f]Dee[/name\_f], [name\_f]Dilly[/name\_f], [name\_f]Cordy[/name\_f] etc.

I chose [name\_f]Juliet[/name\_f]. I love it, and it’s surprisingly rarely used, especially with this spelling. A classic, beautiful name, and more wearable than [name\_f]Cordelia[/name\_f] [name\_f]IMO[/name\_f].

Wiith me having a name well outside the top 1000 (always), I wouldn’t want either, but I chose [name\_f]Juliet[/name\_f] as [name\_f]Cordelia[/name\_f] is super stuffy to me.
