This is my grandma's first name, although she goes by her middle name of Chlorene, she has always pronounced it Kor-dill-ya.
In both 'Anne of Green Gables' adaptations that I've seen as well as all of both 'Buffy' and 'Angel', this name is consistently pronounced as 'kor-DEEL-ee-ə'. First syllable rhyming with 'or'/'oar', second sounding exactly like 'deal'. I've never heard either of the listed pronunciations.
Cordelia´s pet forms are Cora, Corri, Delia.
Pronounced as "Kawr-day-lia".
Normally pronounced kor-DEEL-ee-a, rather than kor-DELL-ee-a.
