Do you think Coco (as an abbreviation of Cordelia) would lead to any problems in this day and age (un Pc etc???). Hadn't crossed my mind but a friend has just raised it and said it would be cruel to call the baby it as gives the wrong impression. I had just been thinking of coco Chanel..

Maybe it's the association with the phenomenal Pixar film which never fails to leave me in floods of tears.

Jokes aside, I can't think of any 'issues' with the name or any unfortunate associations you would wish to avoid. Your friend may not like it, but that doesn't mean it's a bad name. The only thing I could think of is - if your friend is bi-lingual or from a different cultural background - whether Coco might be a rude word in another language?

It means poo in Portuguese but I suppose most people here wouldn't know that.

Coco as a nn to Cordelia- yes lovely
Coco on its own as a name - lower class striper

Coco is great. A well established nickname.

Cordelia is a great name and offers lots of nn possibilities (Delia/Leah/Cory)

I don't see the issue with Coco either

Coco is a sweet nickname and the advantage of it being a nickname is that if she doesn’t like it, she can revert to Cordelia or choose another nickname. I’m not sure what the ‘wrong impression’ your friend is talking about though. I’d probably stop discussing names with that friend.

I don't think it would be a problem.
