Is Cordelia too posh?

I would use Cora as a shortening. Just worried it might be too poncey.

it has connotations of posh - but is still lovely - don't let that put you off using it, as it is a classy Shakespearian name.

It is posh, yes. But I do quite like it anyway . I once worked with a very posh 'Cordi'. She was super beautiful and cool.

Cora is a lovely name, btw - in it's own right.
