Cordelia June Rosamund
Cordelia Beatrice Rosamund
Cordelia _______ Rosamund?
Cordelia _______ ________?If you have any sweet one or two middle name ideas for Cordelia, please share. :)

I don't think it's too long. It's one of those really great long names that just tumbles effortlessly off the tongue; the sounds all follow one another so smoothly. I think Coco could work - having a middle name that also started with the "ko" sound would make that a cute option actually. I prefer Delia or Deely for nicknames myself. I REALLY like Cordelia Kitty Rosamund. It's classy, spunky, and fun. I like June and Beatrice too, but Kitty just can't be beat in terms of charming quirkiness. Other ideas:Cordelia Rosamund Cleo
Cordelia June Meredith
Cordelia Cora Beatrice
Cordelia Bess Rosamund
Cordelia Blanche Rosamund
Cordelia Ivy Beatrice, Cordelia Ivy Rosamund
Cordelia Maude Beatrice
Cordelia Olive Rosamund

Thank you so much, Chloe! One of my closest friends just became an uncle to a baby Ivy a couple of weeks ago. It's spunky and unexpected in the middle, especially with such a conservative name as Cordelia up front.Loving Blanche and Rosamund right next to one another, a white rose!

I think it's really neat. It was my #2 for ages but that faded. Cordelia Kitty Rosamund is adorable. ¡une is cute too. Beatrice begins to get clunky. Cordelia, Beatrice, and Rosamund, while they all have something distinct about them, have pretty much the same flavor, and it's easy to put combos together when everything is the same flavor. But then you throw something sharp in there like Kitty, and it shakes the whole thing up and makes you look at each name involved differently.What about Cordelia Vomiting Rosamund? heh hehCordelia Bess
Cordelia Betsy _____ appeals to me. Rosamund, for instance.
Cordelia Tara Winifred
Cordelia Laura Louise
Cordelia Betsy Louise aw!
Cordelia Mary Winifred, to rip off Kristina, but that's really nice!
Cordelia Arthurine
Cordelia Vera Rosamund
Cordelia Daphne ______, Cordelia Daphne Elizabeth, Cordelia Daphne Isabelle, Cordelia Daphne Rosamund, ooooh

Procrastination is great. I'll save Vomiting Butterballs for an ugly pet. ;)Louise is one of my middle names. I'd use it up front but hate the nn Lou. Betsy Louise is pretty damn sweet.I didn't think of Daphne!! That goes so well there.

Wow.Thank you so much for putting time into this list, this is great. Helen and Joan are so strong there, and Undine (a favourite of mine already) so unexpected.
