I am thinking of the name Cora...wasn't on my list before but saw on another thread.....what do you think?. I need a short name or perhaps to use Cora as a middle name.....does anyone know any Cora's?!

I like it but it would totally depend on your last name.

Cora is a really lovely, ageless name.

Lovely name!

I love it, cant use it myself as it clashes horribly with my last name. Makes me think of the lead lady in last of the mohicans.

Thanks everyone, my DD's name is quite high on the popularity list (wasn't when I had her!) so wanted something a bit different without being too weird! Think it's def up there (just need to convince DH now....)

I like it but it reminds me of evil lady from once upon a time - not everyone will get that reference though!

Like it a lot. Unusual (without being trendy and weird) and classy

burgatroyd · 12/07/2014 10:58

Its OK. No strong feelings

Bowlersarm · 12/07/2014 10:57

Caitmous · 12/07/2014 10:48

Yay

BetterWithCheese · 12/07/2014 10:48

I really like it too Smile

insanityscratching · 12/07/2014 10:42

I would have said no but I know the most beautiful little girl called Cora and she has changed my mind completely so I'd say yes go for it.

Either way, go for it , it's lovely :)

My 16 month old daughter is named Cora so obviously I love it :). Its definitely rising in popularity though.

whotheduckisalice · 12/07/2014 10:24

Total yay from me based on the beautiful Cora from downtown! (Sorry!)

SublimeCorpse · 12/07/2014 09:46
