I first heard the name Cordelia years ago while watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Cordelia Chase (affectionately known as Cordy) was such an interesting character, and her development over the series is truly memorable. I’ve loved the name ever since, all because of her. It feels so soft and regal, yet a little moody and fierce… the best kind of balance.
