Cordelia
Gender: F
Origin of Cordelia: Latin; Celtic
Meaning of Cordelia: "heart; daughter of the sea"
Cordelia, the name of King Lear's one sympathetic daughter, has style and substance, and is exactly the kind of old-fashioned, grown-up name that many parents are seeking today. If you're torn between Cordelia and the equally lovely Cora, you can always choose Cordelia for long and then call her Cora for short -- or Delia, Lia, Del, or even the extremely different Cory.
Cordelia also appeared in Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, and was more recently promoted by a character on both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel.
