What do you guys think of the name Cordelia with the nn Delia? What about just the name Delia on it's own?

Does anyone like Russian names? What are your favourite ones?

Holy cow, I am OBSESSED with Russian names!!!!!!

My favs for a boy are: Gavriil, Levrenti, Ilya, Kontantine (Kostya), Aleksandr, Nikolai, Sergei.

girls: Galina, Marina, Ekatrina, Viktorya, Larissa.

I really like Gavriil.
I love the way Russian names have good nicknames..like Kostya.

I love Delia, but I like it better as a nn for Delilah or on its own. Cordelia always gives me strong Buffy-vibes.

[djador.livejournal.com]

Yes..I am your boyfriend. =P

I love Luka. I like Sasha as a nickname for Alexander. =]

Oh, I'm not a fan of Vladimir either.

I like Aleksei spelled that way (rather than Alexei)

I like Grigory a lot too, Illarion, Illary and Kirill as well.

I wanted to name a boy Mischa for the longest time..then I realized that in Canada/America it's definitely a girl name. lol

I like the name Cordelia with the nn Delia. Corde would be a good nn too, but it makes me think of Star Wars.

Russian names? I LOVE Anastasia and if my little one is a girl she will be named that. I also like Tatiana. As for boy names I like Aleksandr and Dimitri.

[djador.livejournal.com]

I love the way Ekaterina sounds but I don't really like the way it looks written down. I hate when that happens. lol

I like Cordelia okay but I'm not a huge fan of Delia.

I also LOVE Russian names! Nikolai is on my top 5 for boys, and I really like Natalia, Sasha, and Ekaterina.

[missmaxattax.livejournal.com]

I don't really like many Russian names at all. There are a few I like (Alexis, Micah, Tatiana) but not many.
With that being said.. I'm not too fond of Delia or Cordelia. I'd prefer Delia as the name not just a nn, if anything, though. But that reminds me of that store.. delias?

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Cordelia is a pretty fierce name, maybe even too 'heavy' and rigid sounding on a child. Delia is a lot more delicate :) I think it's clever as short for Cordelia, but maybe I like it better on its own.

I've just searched the meaning of it and I'm a little puzzled: I recalled it was some sort of flower-related name (unless I am getting confused with Dahlia), but my source tells me that it means 'dark' in welsh, as well as it is commonly short for Cordelia, which is supposed to be greek. Would you happen to have different info about it? :)

Ilya is the one russian name I've always been quite fond of.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

oh i forgot, I used to be madly in love with the name Nadia :)

[djador.livejournal.com]

Oh I like Nadia a lot. I recently found the name Nadezhda (Nah-DYEZH-dah) and I kind of like it. I would never use it though..unless my baby daddy was Russian. Then maybe. lol

[djador.livejournal.com]

Nope I don't know anything about the name it's just the name of a character in the book I'm reading right now.

[moldycelery.livejournal.com]

Delia on it's own is kind of incomplete. I like it a lot better as a nick-name for Cordelia, although my favorite nick-name for Cordelia is Cordy.

I lovelovelove Sasha as a nick name for Alexander/Aleksandr. If I ever had a kid with a Russian guy and it was a boy, he would be named Alexander, called Sasha. Some other names I like are Natalya, Alexei, Tatyana and Dmitri.

[djador.livejournal.com]

I love Sasha/Alexander too. Russian nicknames are the best. =]

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

I love Cordelia but Delia on its own just makes me think of Delia Smith :)

[anapology.livejournal.com]

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I don't like Cordelia but I like Delia. The only Deliah I know pronounces it duh-LEE-uh, rather than DEE-lee-uh, though.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

*Delia, not Deliah.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I don't really like Cordelia or Delia!

I do like Russian names thougH! I wouldn't use them as I have absolutly no Russian heritage!
Aleksei
Alexsandr
Alexei
Ania/Anya
Anton
Artur
Katia/Katya
Mariam
Mikhail
Nikolai
Sofiya/Sofya

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Cordelia, and Delia's a great nickname. Delia's okay on its own, but I prefer it as being short for Cordelia.

As for Russian names, I like Anya, Nadia, and Oksana.

[turasmor.livejournal.com]

haha I just have to ask.. did you just read a book with the name Cordelia (Delia for short) as the main character? (Vanishing acts?)

[djador.livejournal.com]

Lol, yes, yes I did. =D
