Cordelia you could also have the nn Cody.

Halifordian · 20/04/2015 10:48

Annabel, by a long way

OutragedFromLeeds · 20/04/2015 10:51

Annabel.

I love Cora, but not Cordelia. Really not keen on Estelle.

burgatroyd · 20/04/2015 10:53

Cordelia, nn Coco

BackCrackandNappySack · 20/04/2015 10:55

I like them all. My least fave is Estelle, most fave is Cordelia, by a whisker but I love Annabel too.

Estelle Martha Jane doesn't really work.

Cordelia Martha Jane sounds fine but Annabel Martha Jane works best as a combination.

BackCrackandNappySack · 20/04/2015 10:55

Actually the more I think about it the less I like Estelle. I refer Stella or Esther.

marmaladegranny · 20/04/2015 10:56

IMHO Estelle is the best choice to go with Martha Jane.

Cordelia is ok IF you reverse the middle names - Cordelia Jane Martha works whereas Cordelia Martha Jane doesn't scan.

Annabel is lovely name but just too many 'a' sounds with Martha Jane

InfiniteJest · 20/04/2015 11:00

Annabel is my favourite, I think it flows the best with the middle names.

Viviennemary · 20/04/2015 11:07

I like Cordelia best but Annabel is nice too. Nothing wrong with Estelle either.

DramaAlpaca · 20/04/2015 11:09

Annabel I think. It works best with the middle names.

I like Cordelia, but not the nicknames.

Estelle doesn't go quite as well with Martha Jane.

switchitoff · 20/04/2015 11:53

Annabel.

It does depend what your surname is though. Does Annabel scan well with it?

purplemunkey · 20/04/2015 11:55

I like Cordelia, nn Cordy.

StrawberryCheese · 20/04/2015 11:59

Annabel would be my pick.

Choccyhobnob · 20/04/2015 11:59

Annabel by a mile

TempsPerdu · 20/04/2015 12:07

Another vote for Annabel. Had Estelle been Estella or Esther I would have voted for those though! Really don't like the 'Cord' sound in Cordelia, so that one's not for me.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 20/04/2015 12:11

Cordelia

chrisrobin · 20/04/2015 12:12

Cordelia is my favourite but Annabel is a close second

Bowlersarm · 20/04/2015 12:13

Cordelia

Followed by Annabel

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 20/04/2015 12:18

For me it would be either Estelle or Annabell. Don't like Cordelia. Quite like Delia though

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 20/04/2015 12:19

Or Cora.

IvoryMadonna · 20/04/2015 12:30

Annabel

timelyreminder · 20/04/2015 14:11

Annabel.

Cordelia is too fussy and Tess is a bit of a long shot as a nickname for Estelle.

AnythingNotEverything · 20/04/2015 14:14

Cordelia nn Delia by a mile.

FatSwan · 20/04/2015 14:20

Cordelia

LauraChant · 20/04/2015 14:22

Cordelia.
