Juno or Cordelia

[LuellaLovesLavendar]

Which would you prefer and why? TIA

[scottishmummy]

cordelia classic not many Ned connotations
Juno 17yo knocked up,bad movie.Ned name

[BoyMeetsWorld]

I genuinely like Cordelia & there are a few nice nns for it. Juno def not - I ditto the teen pregnancy connotations

[RTchoke]

Love Juno. For 1000s of years it was associated with the chief Roman goddess, for about 4 years people will remember the movie. Do not let the movie put you off.

[squoosh]

Juno is gorgeous. Reminds me of Juno and the Paycock

Cordelia is flouncy. She would look and act like Bonnie Langford. Do you really want to be Bonnie Langford's Mum?

[AyeOopMoose]

Depends on surname. I loved Cordelia but it's too long for us.

I do like Juno but for some reason reminds me of the word jumbo!

How about Hera? I love it but DH vetoed it.

[curiousgeorgie]

Cordelia makes me think of Buffy...


But I really dislike Juno, sorry...

[Normaprice]

Both nice. Prefer Juno reminds me of lovely girl I used to work with called Junova- shortened to Juno.

[fishcalledwonder]

We considered Cordelia for DD. It is lovely but decided we weren't posh enough to pull it off!

[CharlieCoCo]

I love Juno. also love Juniper with nn of Juno (til someone on here said it sounds like jew nipper and it is now a bit off-putting.)

[LoveYouForeverMyBaby]

Prefer cordelia, lovely sound and tone to the name.

[Anonymumous]

"She would look and act like Bonnie Langford". What a stupid thing to say! As if her name is going to have more effect on the way she looks and acts than the way her parents bring her up. And, in case you didn't notice, Bonnie Langford's name is "Bonnie" or "Bonita", not Cordelia.

OP, Cordelia is lovely - really pretty. I don't like Juno so much. Don't go for Bonita though, whatever you do.

[squoosh]

Oh go boil your head Anonymumous. It's called a j-o-k-e.

I think Cordelia is a silly, frilly name and I think Bonnie Langford is a silly, frilly woman.

How very dull life must be when one is so literal.

[scottishmummy]

god what a feetie stampy rant
I thought the Bonnie Langford post was funny.

Cordelia

[HolyBrrrrrrBatman]

I don't like Juno (although I really liked the film). It just sounds like 'd'you know?'.

Not really keen on Cordelia either, but I would pick that over Juno.

[nooka]

My cousin is a Cordelia and in no way is she either silly or frilly. I think it's quite a strong, serious sort of name, and the Shakespearean character is a pretty good heroine too.

I like Juno too, partly because I really like the movie, again another headstrong character. I suspect it might get stronger reactions as a more unusual name.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I prefer Cordelia by a country mile.

I don't like the way Juno sounds.

[Binkybix]

Cordelia for me. It's on my list and I'm nothing like Bonnie Langford ;)

[amarylisnightandday]

Juno - lovely name and sweet film.
Cordelia just reminds me of King Lear - no

[Anonymumous]

Oooh, sorry I'm sure. I thought jokes were supposed to be funny. Anyway, I've boiled my head and it is now very sore indeed. You really shouldn't say things like that to us "literal" people...

[scottishmummy]

seeing you so literal good job no one said go butter your fuck

[baskingseals]

oh i like them both.
lovely names.

[Anonymumous]

What does that mean, ScottishMummy? Is it some weird foodstuff like Haggis?

[scottishmummy]

im teasing,seeing you so literal
just mucking aboot
ummm no it's not foodstuff and I'd not recommend buttering your fuck

[AreYouAbleMabel]

Lke both really
