Clara or Cordelia

I like them both. I think for Cordelia we'd probably go with Cora as a nn. I imagine Clara might be a bit more popular at the moment but how much? Do you know children by either name? Smile

Clara's on my list, I love it!

I love Cordelia and have it on list for DD2. Unfortunately I think DH may veto it. No taste.

I have never met either a clara or a Cordelia - but i LOVE both of them. And I think I may nick Clara if I ever have a girl (oh how i want a girl). Clara is the name of a woman from a novel and it's now bugging me which one....? I would go for Clara if I had to choose but only because Cordelia reminds me of King Lear. But I love them both.

Like Cora, don't like Cordelia and don't like Clara. So I am no help to you! Cordelia also has a hard time in Lear doesn't she?!

Clara is a fab name

Yonionekanobe · 30/08/2013 19:52

Yep, vetoed by DH Sad. DD2 is going to be born with no name.

I love Cordelia, bit different
Can be Cordie or Delia as a nn

I love Clara, does remind me of Heidi... but that is lovely memory of a childhood book.

Rhubarbgarden · 30/08/2013 23:10

I prefer Clara. Cordelia is too long and fussy for me.

savvymoo · 30/08/2013 23:22

Much prefer Cordelia.

Snazzyenjoyingsummer · 30/08/2013 23:24

Cordelia.

I like both, but probably prefer Clara.
