Is Cordelia too posh?

I would use Cora as a shortening. Just worried it might be too poncey.

Lovely name but not when shortened to Delia, and other people might.

Yes, it's quite posh but so what.

Sounds posh. It was the little sister's name in Brideshead Revisited.

It's too... something. Reminds me of Ribena.

There are two Cordelias at Brownies and it's not a big pack. They are know as "cordy" for short which make me think of curtains and tie-backs.

But I'm not normal it has to be said.

Of course! I knew it sounded brisdesheady
