Cordelia or Robyn - just can't decide.

Please help! We just can't decide. What do people prefer? We'd probably use Cordy day to day for Cordelia.

Robyn. Lovely name

So we've established that whatever we choose reuset isn't keen!!

Not so. Grin I like Cordelia, but not Cordy. I don't mind, I suppose, Robin, but dislike your chosen spelling.

Cordelia. I'm not keen on unisex names, I feel they never sound right for either sex.

celtictoast · 21/10/2015 14:59

Cassia or Cecilia as alternatives to Cordelia?

Cordy is a bit odd too, sounds like Gordy.

Interesting so far. Thanks! I really dislike Delia, Dilly and Cora as nicknames - it's one of the things that's putting me off Cordelia.

Robyn is awful. That particular spelling, a horrid attempt at feminising (just use Robin!)

Cordelia is better, though I prefer Delia, Dilly or Cora for nick names

Robyn

Mouthfulofquiz · 21/10/2015 14:26

I love the name Robyn - it's gorgeous.

Robyn

squoosh · 21/10/2015 14:12

I'd probably go for Robyn and Cordelia is a tad frilly. Cordy is very cute though as a nickname.

Gileswithachainsaw · 21/10/2015 14:11

both

Gileswithachainsaw · 21/10/2015 14:11

I like bo. I'd probably go fir Robyn

LauraChant · 21/10/2015 14:10

Straight away two different preferences! Sorry OP!

LauraChant · 21/10/2015 14:09

I really like Cordy/ Cordelia, Robyn not so much.

Lunastarfish · 21/10/2015 14:08

Both nice names but I prefer Robyn
