I always think of Buffy, but I kinda dig it.

I first knew it as the name of a town in northern California. Now, it makesme think of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I didn't even watch the show.

I love it. Even if I am a fan of Buffy.

... and my son's name is Xander....

I met a toddler named Cordelia last year. She was adorable and the name fit well.

Equal parts King Lear, Bujold's Vorkosigan books, and Buffy, which is an interesting combination.

I like Delia better than Cordelia.

I'm rewatching Angel as I write this so I think of Cordelia Chase. I do like the name though and I LOVE Cordy as a nn.

Love it, but it always makes me think of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I would probably assume that whoever it was that named their daughter that was a big Buffy fan (as I am, although I hate 95% of the names), just as I would if they used the names Xander or Willow or Angel or Buffy or Winifred nn Fred.

PS - I HATE Cordy/Cordie as a nickname. I like Delia or Codi.

Love it

It makes me think of the Victorian era and the Samantha series of the American Girl books. Aunt Cordelia? I guess that's why I think it's a little old fashioned but it's not too bad.

Can't say it reminds me of Buffy because I was never a Buffy fan.

Love it, and not just because I love Buffy/Angel and Shakespeare.

Buffy. And besides that, I don't like the name at all.

Love it, but don't think I'm brave enough to use it.

I don't like it. It reminds me of cordial, and cords.

It also reminds me of Anne of Green Gables -- I think she wanted to be called Cordelia rather than Anne :)
