Apparently, another member of his family was called “Cornelius”. That is an old Roman name, but it hardly has currency in the modern English-speaking world.

That seems like a mouthful. Like when your mother is pissed at you and yells out your full name (I always knew my middle name added on meant trouble). But what would a Cornelius go by most of the time? Neil?

There’s a Cornelius who works at my university, in the US. I don’t know the story behind the name, but he goes by Neil.
