Love Cordelia. Never heard of Thebe but fine for a middle name

I think they’re a bit much together and the combo is a bit difficult to pronounce. I like Cordelia but as it is quite a grand name I’d be inclined to go for a plainer middle name to balance it out.

I know a little Cordelia, lovely name. I have never met a Thebe but am familiar with the name and know how to pronounce it.

Cordelia Thebe is lovely. Cordelia Phoebe is also lovely.

@FeedMeSantiago thankyou. My preference is towards dusty, clunky, ‘heritage’ even verging on ugly-chic names but I feel this is more elegant. I also love Rowena but I’d worry about the possible ‘wiener’ or wee related jokes. Like Rowenna too but I prefer the strong e sound. I also like lots of T-names - Tilda (love but vetoed), Theia, Thomasin. Middles are difficult to match with these kinds of names though because the shorter middles I like are all twee and cottagey by comparison - Nell, Jeane etc, and don’t go with the stateliness. But then it’s hard to not go over the top.

Yeah, I would assume it was Phoebe said by someone who can't pronounce Th/F differently.

@Violetlavenders

will probably get laughed at at school around here

Cordelia will get laughed at? Are you serious? Where do you live ShockConfused?

Yeah I am, it's a bit too upper class for round here.
