I think, with the very greatest respect, if you have never possessed a middle name you may not appreciate the myriad of ways in which they can affect your life!

It would be nice to use something from your family, OP - so your daughter can feel she’s part of a continuum. Otherwise:

Jane was my first thought too. The J sound seems to run well after Cordelia, so if that’s too plain you could have:

Jean - this would sound so cool
Raine - would work
Antoinette - actually not impossible.

True, what I meant was that I have never missed one, that nobody has ever asked me about one! That middle names don't get used much..!

I think it's nice to use a family name if you have one you like. I love Cordelia by the way

[MoleAtTheCounter]

Cordelia Jane. It gives an option for the nickname CJ.

[Forfukzsake]

Cordelia Sue
Cordelia Rae

[Happenchance]

You could go for a filler middle name, cheery y/ie name or embrace the Gothic:
Cordelia Maeve
Cordelia Rae
Cordelia Ruby
Cordelia Zoe
Cordelia Raven
Cordelia Morgan
Cordelia Persephone
Cordelia Winter
Cordelia Ivy
Cordelia Tempest

Cordelia Kate ❤️

[candyflossxox]

Rose

[ChocolateSpreadOnToast]

Not Rose as everyone has Rose. It’s just a filler name.

[Luana1]

Cordelia Pearl out of your two choices, Rose is just so boring and as someone said a filler name (unless it has some personal meaning to you).
Cordelia Willow is a nice combo I think too :)

[Maisymay12]

Cordelia Ruth

[Theoldwoman]

Cordelia Frances
Cordelia Mae
Cordelia Lucille
Cordelia Jane

[SevenSteps]

Anne or Jane

One of the options I had if I’d had a daughter was Cordelia Jane. I love Cordelia (both from the Shakespeare play and Buffy 😂) and Jane after Austen. I think it flows well and two classic names together.

My other option was to be Esmeralda Mary, after my favourite Pratchett character and Mary Wollstonecraft & Mary Shelley. Mary could go with Cordelia too, but I prefer this way around.

[Mumofgirls2017]

Definitely Cordelia Pearl!

[MadisonAvenue]

Jane

I really dislike single syllable mn's. So I would pick:
Cordelia Emmeline
Cordelia Sophie
Cordelia Amelie
Cordelia Elspeth
Cordelia Ruby
