What are your thoughts on Cornelia and Cornelius? Not for siblings obviously

They make me think of corns, like old ladies get on their feet. Cordelia isn't quite so bad. Connor is OK.

Makes me think of eyeballs

Prefer Cordelia for a girl.

Flavia et Cornelia sub abore sedet.

(Either that will mean something to you or it won’t.)

I think they're both lovely OP

Phyllispontypandy · 03/07/2018 23:31

Dislike them.

TwinkleToes86 · 03/07/2018 23:14

Awful. Precocious.

kaytee87 · 03/07/2018 21:13

I don't like them, don't mind Cordelia as an alternative

I used to know a Cornelius I think it's a cool name he was like a gladiator!

redmini4 · 03/07/2018 21:07

Really like both.

MikeUniformMike · 03/07/2018 21:05

Excellent choices.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 03/07/2018 21:05

I feel I should like them but I actually don’t. I’d also worry about nn Corny even if I did like them.

Yes, pretty cool.

Prefer Cornelia. Offers the nn Nell. Think Cornelius (nn Neil?) would be a bit harder to carry off.
