Shortenings for Cordelia...?

...that aren't Cordy, Delia or Dilly? My sister is due in February and is considering this name. She is put off by the obvious nicknames which are not ideal. I love the full name, so any suggestions for shortened versions you have I can give her would be great!

Lia? Elly? I have to say the only one I know is generally known as "cords" though. Delia is the most natural and nothing especially wrong with it imo (that said I wouldn't choose Cordelia anyway so clearly have different criteria from your dsis)
