Hi all I’m back again, despite knowing I was having a girl from 15 weeks she is here with no name. Feeling the pressure big time, all help appreciated.
Names

Emilia
Ada (DH favourite)
Lydia
Nina

Or Cora both love but could we really call our daughter Cora Kane?

Lydia - pretty name. Too many amelias where i live.

cjukesy · 06/09/2018 17:10

Emilia my favourite.

CorneliusCrackers · 02/09/2018 14:22

The problem with Cora Kane is if she gets called ‘Co’ then her name will be ‘Co Kane’

I’d avoid.

Tinywhale · 31/08/2018 20:38

Cora Kane is absolutely fine.

But, if not, I'm voting for Lydia.

Jenala · 31/08/2018 20:36

Cora Kane is an awesome name.

Ada Kane sounds cool too. Not so keen on Lydia or Nina and Emilia I think is getting quite common, though it is pretty.

Cora or Ada for sure.

HeronLanyon · 31/08/2018 20:33

All lovely and congratulations. Lydia gorgeous. Think your three syllable names work best with one syllable last name.

minnierose3 · 31/08/2018 20:23

@izzyw1983 haha I always think of it, our surname is also a K so most middle name with a vowel are out! !!

Izzyw1983 · 31/08/2018 19:47

#minnierose3 I didn't think about that 🤔

minnierose3 · 31/08/2018 19:43

Ooh @GreatDuckCookery I totally agree and Elizabeth is lovely x

minnierose3 · 31/08/2018 19:42

@Izzyw1983 , the initials would be CAK 😂

minnierose3 · 31/08/2018 19:41

Sorry but I don't like Cora Kane, those are all quite 'top 10' sounding which personally I avoid of the list you gave Lydia is the best

Izzyw1983 · 31/08/2018 19:28

How about Cora Ada Kane?

didyouseetheflaresinthesky · 30/08/2018 21:41

Lydia or Nina I think are the best.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 30/08/2018 21:40

Personally I think you need a longer name with Cane.

Elisabeth Cane
Harriet Cane
Florence Cane
Matilda Cane
Victoria Cane
Mirabelle Cane

LucyFox · 30/08/2018 20:44

Cora Louise Kane would work

My preference though would be a slightly longer/more syllable name like Juliette, Allison, Antonia, Susanna, Nicola, Elizabeth, Maria, Emily, Belinda, Olivia ....

pennycarbonara · 30/08/2018 20:37

Emily Kane is a song by Art Brut. Probably not heard much these days except by people in their 30s who were fans of the band, but I'd be reluctant to use it in case she found it annoying when she was older after googling (or whatever people will be doing in 12 years time) the name.

It is a tricky surname because a lot of things could sound a bit like a drug or product as PP said about Lydia.

I like Nina, but would mostly be considering longer first names, and also nothing beginning with C or K (C. Kane, I can imagine teenagers might think it sounds like cocaine)

Soontobe60 · 30/08/2018 20:31

Definitely Cora Kane! Really does sound like a superhero!
What about her middle name? Elizabeth?
Cora Elizabeth Kane. Think we need a pic 😂😂

Mayhemmumma · 30/08/2018 20:29

You can soften Ada Kane with a middle name like Everlyn or Vivienne or something equally lovely.

GinIsIn · 29/08/2018 22:26

Not Ada - Ada Kane sounds like a drug.

Cora Kane isn’t bad.

Clara?

TatianaLarina · 29/08/2018 10:09

Emilia Kane sounds the best from your list.

I agree some of them sound like painkillers.

Quangot · 29/08/2018 09:18

Louisa Kane, Jemima Kane, Sophie Kane?

Quangot · 29/08/2018 09:12

Emilia Kane is my favourite of those.

Naomi Kane would be nice, or Ada Naomi Kane.

mostdays · 29/08/2018 08:41

Cora is lovely! One of my best loved friends is a Cora.
Of your other list I love Lydia. Gorgeous, timeless name.

Enko · 29/08/2018 08:38

I love

Cora & Ada
Nina is nice
I am not keen on Emilia or Lydia to me they are just a bit too " safe and overused" I don't think they are horrible names though just the other 3 are lovely and those two are to me a bit " meh"

Frazzled2207 · 29/08/2018 08:24

Amelia or Cora. Or both!
Anyone who's watched the Handmaid's Tale will have gone off Lydia big time.
