Cordelia
(Don't dislike Elizabeth at all.)

Elizabeth for me. I don’t like the sound of Cordelia personally.

I'd pick Cordelia but as a PP said Cordelia Elizabeth works well. I went to school with one whose NN was Dillie, if you wanted an alternative shortening to Delia.

Cordelia Elizabeth is lovely

Both are OK but Elizabeth wins for me

Cordelia for sure for me! I like Elizabeth but I think Cordelia is just a bit nicer. Elizabeth does have nicer nicknames though. I suppose there’s Delia as a nice shortening to Cordelia. But Elizabeth has a lot more choice. Still think I prefer Cordelia though!

Cordelia.. But I love both :)

They’re both lovely, maybe Cordelia just pips the post.
