Is Cordelia too posh?

[waspish]

I would use Cora as a shortening. Just worried it might be too poncey.

[nailpolish]

no i think its ok

and im not posh

[nancy75]

i really like it, and i could never be described as posh!

[MrsMattie]

It is posh, yes. But I do quite like it anyway . I once worked with a very posh 'Cordi'. She was super beautiful and cool.

Cora is a lovely name, btw - in it's own right.

[hellebores]

it has connotations of posh - but is still lovely - don't let that put you off using it, as it is a classy Shakespearian name.

[Getthekettleon]

I know a Cordelia, she is a very strong beautiful women and the name really suits her. Its a nice name.

[reginaphilangy]

I think Cordelia is posh, yes. Not too posh though - IMO its gorgeous!

... and Cora is soooooo sweet

[collision]

I prefer Cora to Cordelia but I do like it.

Ophelia

Miranda

Clementine?????

[harpomarx]

just to go against the grain - I think it is uber posh!

but I think that would also depend on what you and your family are like. A posh person saying Cordelia is off the scale posh but a less posh person might make it sound more 'normal' iyswim.

Cora is nice though.

[Podrick]

[Podrick]

may be shortened to Delia which is a bit dodge

[mamalovesmojitos]

[CantSleepWontSleep]

It is a bit posh, but it's also gorgeous.

[Dozymare]

[pointydog]

Just go for Cora

[falcon]

I think it's beautiful and I prefer the full version to Cora.

[Quattrocento]

It's lovely

[Lakelover]

I think it's lovely too - also reminds me of the wonderful Anne of Green Gables!

I think - very posh. Also very 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' but that's a generational thing.

But it is a nice name
