What made me like [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is the show [name_u]Anne[/name_u] with an E. I’m sort of neutral on it, but [name_u]Anne[/name_u] views it as so magical that her passion for it wins me over.
I love [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] because they sound regal and dignified, but they both can have fun nicknames like [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], and [name_f]Delia[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] because the “[name_f]May[/name_f]” sound is so pretty, and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]-y is a darling nickname. [name_f]Eve[/name_f] or [name_f]Evie[/name_f] could work too!
I love the [name_u]Anne[/name_u] of green gables books!!! !!! (I read them yearly lol) and she does love [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Diana[/name_f] even names one of her children [name_u]Anne[/name_u] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
Charlotte sounds like chocolate, its so full and lush and regal. But it’s not so dignified that it’s obnoxious or pretentious. I love its sway," [name_f]Char[/name_f]-lett." It makes me think of [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]’s [name_m]Web[/name_m] and warmth and lace filled cottages. What are your initial impressions? Please be brutal because I am so afraid of name regret.
I think it’s super charming and cute. Vintage and amazing. There is absolutely no reason I shouldn’t love it and I love to see people named charlotte. It just doesn’t have a spark for me personally
The only ones I like from this list are [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], even though they are a little too fancy for me to actually consider. For [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], I just love the way it rolls off the tounge. It sounds sweet, elegant and gentle. I also know a little girl with this name, and she has the most beautiful blonde ringlets, so I always think of that! [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] feels very posh, but still fanciful, like the queen of some magical kingdom. It also feels like white lace and snow.
I don’t really like any of them either. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] sounds to regal and is too long for me; [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] the same. I don’t understand [name_f]Anouk[/name_f]. [name_f]Saskia[/name_f]- I like it but it doesn’t really work for me. How do you actually pronounce [name_f]Anouk[/name_f]? [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f]- just no. [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]- I like it just seems a bit fancy. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]- probably my favourite, I would use it as a middle name.
Anouk- You get the name [name_f]Annie[/name_f]!
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]- It has such a beautiful and classic sound. It was the first girl name I loved when I came to NB. You get the feminine [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] and more masculine [name_u]Charlie[/name_u].
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f]- [name_f]Sasi[/name_f] is an adorable nickname! It sounds unique yet familiar.
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]- You get Lyss as a nickname! It sounds cheerful and vintage.
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]- It’s simple, easy to pronounce and pretty! [name_f]Maevy[/name_f] is adorable!
The only one out of these I love is [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]. It means happiness and is just fun to say
Charlotte and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] are all right. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] sounds regal and fancy to me, and I like the way [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] rolls off the tongue.
I’ll advocate for the ones I like or love! A lot of them aren’t my taste.
Felicity- This is a very bright name. It’s sophisticated without being at all heavy, and it has a wonderful meaning! It grows with the wearer. I also think it’s pretty easy to pair with firsts or middles.
Cordelia- This name I like well enough, but don’t love. It’s sweetened for me by the Anne of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables connection and the fact that it’s familiar but not overused. It also has a fun rhythm and a good meaning!
Charlotte- This name seems gentle, sweet, and timeless, and nearly every association I have with it is positive. I also love the nickname [name_u]Charlie[/name_u].
Anouk is not really my style, but it is one I can appreciate in the right combo, like @katinka’s [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] and @anon68906791’s [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Anouk[/name_f], which are both fabulous!
Charlotte is just a sweet classic, and I would have it on my list if it hadn’t been used already in my family. I think I love how simultaneously simple and elegant it is. That said, it is getting quite popular, which does turn me off to it a bit. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the vibe overall, though.
Felicity has such a bubbly, sunshine-y feel, too it. Maybe because it means “happiness”, but it just exudes bliss for me.
Cordelia is much like [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] in that it just has such a sunny vibe. I love [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] for its elegance, but it still feels so fun and down-to-earth – it’s not stiffly elegant like [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].
Maeve is one I’m kind of off-and-on about. Sometimes I like it, other times I’m not feeling it. Like [name_f]Anouk[/name_f], it really depends on the combo. But I think the fact that it’s simple, cozy, and pretty rare is appealing for most people who love it.
I don’t really care for [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] or [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f], so I can’t say why they appeal to other people. Honestly, they are a mystery to me, too.
Out of that list, the two names that I actually really like are [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].
Felicity is just so happy- even its meaning. Its imagery is a crisp red to me, like the stripe of a candy cane on a brisk winter’s day. It’s delicate and simply perfect! It completes my combo [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] in a way that I love!
Cordelia makes me think of the sea- again, a part of its meaning. I used to be neutral on it but now I’m rereading [name_u]Anne[/name_u] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables and the combo [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_u]Sunrise[/name_u] popped into my head and suddenly I love it!
I LOVE [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. With the hard c sound but soft ending and the meaning, I absolutely adore it with a brother named [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. It sounds very regal and elegant as others have said and reminds me of [name_f]Buffy[/name_f] the Vampire Slayer.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] feels very nice when you say it and is also very elegant. Plus I love the nn [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] and it reminds me of princess and the frog.
I am a [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] and I go by [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]! Sometimes my partner calls me [name_m]Charles[/name_m] lol!
