Our baby girl is 2 days old and we still haven't settled on name yet. Currently swinging between Lara ( Larissa) and Cora. Which do you prefer? Need to settle on something asap.

I love them both! I think I prefer Cora, but think I will be in the minority. I mentioned it in a thread here once and it got shot down. Hmm

Lara is lovely.

Not so keen on Cora, it sounds old to me, though maybe that's just because of Cora in Eastenders!!

I love the name Cara, blend of the two.... how about that?

Out of Lara and Cora I think I prefer Lara. Cora is having a "moment" right now but might date badly. I like both though.

Lara.
Cora reminds me of a device that removes the cores from fruit!

Cora but probably because Lara reminds me of a little girl who hit me over the head with a bucketful of lego and laughed about it when I babysat her!

Don't like either.

Make your choice from how you felt when someone chose one. If you were disappointed then use the other one!

What about Carla? I've always loved that name and it combines sounds from both.
