Love Cordelia, reminds me of my favourite Christmas film, I'm sure I'll sound really stupid, but how exactly do you pronounce the be?

I don't like it, it's a bit much and will probably get laughed at at school around here but then it depends what sort of people you hang out with I guess.

I think I'd go for Cordelia Phoebe or Cordelia Hebe personally but only as I've not come across Thebe before!

I love Cordelia. I'm Greek, not a fan of Thebe though. It does go well if you are set on it though.

Like Cordelia - elegant with a lot of nn choice. Thebe is nice enough - very unusual, sounds like a mix of Thisbe and Phoebe or Hebe.

Love Cordelia.

@JemimaJoy Ha! Fair enough

The two names together is a bit much... has a bit of a Jacob Rees Mogg vibe

I don't like Cordelia. I can't help imagining umbilical cords, for some reason. I don't like Thebe either, actually. It sounds like Phoebe with a lisp, as a PP said.

TatianaBis · 06/04/2021 16:43

I don't like Cordelia so not one to ask but like Thebe and think they go well together. Although people may think you're saying Phoebe with a lisp.

Love Cordelia, never come across Thebe before but google tells me it's from Greek mythology. A nice combo imo with a literary feel
