Emmeline, Cordelia or Miriam?

This is my last survey, I promise. I just need to sound out my thoughts and see what you wise women think.

Emmeline - DH's fave. I do like it and love nn Emmie. I am worried that she'll be forever mistaken for Emily and I know an Emilia/Emi who is slightly off putting.
Cordelia - love this, but fear it might be a bit too fancy.
Miriam - don't actually live this, but really do love nn Miri or Mim.

I have enormous name regret for Dd2 and I'm anxious not to make a mistake. I want something classic, not too popular and something suitable for all ages.

Biased here - have a 6-month old Miriam, she's ace. She goes by Miri and a variety of Miri-based nicknames (Miripops, etc.). Not a big fan of Cordelia - bit too princessy for me. Emmeline is nice but I agree it might get mistaken for Emily.
