Cora, Cordelia or Iris?

[NauseousKitty]

We have a boy name sorted but girls are proving more difficult this time. Choosing DD's name was fine but I can't find one I love as much. DH and I have narrowed it down to:

Cora
Cordelia
Iris

(In my preference order, not his!)

Any thoughts or suggestions? Thx

[AwfulMaureen]

I liked both Cordelia and Iris for DD1....Cora...no...reminds me of apple core.

Cordelia is the prettier imo but Iris is lovely too.

[MirabileDictu]

Cordelia.

[PrincessOfChina]

I like Cora and Iris, not too fond of Cordelia at all though.

[PreciousPeach]

Oh what a difficult decision, I ADORE all three, Iris and Cordelia would be my favourites but I can't pick which one i prefer most....helpful

Just out of curiosity what have you picked for a ds....I'm nosey

[ShoeWhore]

Iris Iris Iris!

[DramaAlpaca]

Cordelia.

I don't like Cora or Iris.

[stuckindamiddle]

I like Iris best. Cordelia is next best but I'm not keen on Cora.

[Mireio]

Iris or Cordelia. I dislike Cora on its own. You could use Cora as a nickname for Cordelia?

[RabbitPies]

Cora is beautiful.

Cordelia is lovely.

I hate Iris. It's very popular on MN and I have no idea why.

[shoobidoo]

Cordelia is lovely!

[TheRaniOfYawn]

Iris.

Cora is lovely, really simple but so nice to say. Cordelia is lovely, could be nn Cora, if wanted...or Delia.

Iris on the other hand is too wispy and eyeballish.

[alita7]

I like cordelia. cora doesn't sound quite finished and iris sounds wet and weak to me.

[minipie]

I'd pick Cora or Iris. Cordelia is a bit OTT for me.

I love Cara...

[petitdonkey]

Cordelia! You can always shorten it to Cora - I think that Cora wouldn't pass the 'loud nightclub test'! What?? Core-a

[donnie]

Cordelia is beautiful - I wanted to call dd2 Cordelia but dh didn't like it .

[SimplySara]

I really like all three. Cora could be a nn for Cordelia so hence going for Cordelia would give you two lovely name possibilities for the price of one (and dont we all love BOGOF deals?)
I also really love Cornelia as you would get the nn possibility of Nell as well as Cora.

[Whatisaweekend]

Oh! What Lovely names! I love Cora as the nn is Corky so perhaps call her the also lovely Cordelia and use this? But Iris is also lovely and elegant

[ChickenMe]

Cordelia. Very classy name. Cora is a bit short and doesn't really go anywhere. Iris is nice but not as strong as Cordelia.

[livingatheendofthewall]

I love Iris, like Cordelia, and it could be shortened to Cora. What about Coral?

[Mrspedro]

Cora ??????

[sleepingbeautiful]

1. Iris
   
2. Cordelia
   
   Cora makes me think corer, as in apple cutting tool.

[AnythingNotEverything]

I think Iris is becoming very popular. I prefer Cordelia. Prettier and more unusual. Depends on your thoughts on popularity though.

[elmwoo]

Iris
Cora
Cordelia

Cordelia's in Buffy, so she wins.
