Cordelia

Here's one I'd love to see rising in popularity...

Cordelia is a character in Shakespeare's King Lear so this name literally oozes with class and sophistication. She is Lear's youngest and favourite daughter. If classic theatre and literature isn't really your thing then there's also the wonderful Cordelia Chase from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The name can be shortened to Delia, Lia, Cordy, Cora etc. This name has a really rich feeling with plenty of potential to play around with it in terms of nicknames. It means 'daughter of the sea'

In the novel Anne of Green Gables she says the name Cordelia is a 'perfectly elegant name' and it could be perfect for your child.
