Cornelia and Cornelius

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on Cornelia and Cornelius? Not for siblings obviously

yes to Cornelia, which sounds quite Dutch Golden Age to me. No to Cornelius, which just makes me think of Babar.

I really don’t like Cornelia.
I think Cornelius is a fab name but am put off by my old neighbor who used Corny as the nickname for her husband.

I like Cornelia. She could be Connie for short.

Also like Tiberious

Yes, like them both. Very Roman/Dutch associations to me.

I used to work with someone called Cornelia. Everyone called her Cornflake.

Bad

That's so cute :)

I know a Cornelia called Nell/Nellie.

What about Corn? Then they could have their own plasters!

They're both horrid.

You could shorten Cornelia to the nickname Cora. My grandfather was a Cornelius and known as Con/ Connie. I’m not really a fan of the male version but would use Cornelia.

Both sound like fungal infections. Not a fan!

A bit pretentious, especially Cornelius.
