Don’t like it.

MikeUniformMike · 09/01/2019 10:50

Don't like it. Not my baby though.
Cora is nicer, and Cara nicer still.

Saisong · 09/01/2019 06:59

DS was at nursery with a Coryl, I rather liked it.

Jonathan Ross Blush

If you have even the slightest Jonathon Toss style difficulties with the letter R then this name is impossible. Weirdly, Coralie is easier.

I also think of the betting shop chain as there is a shop everywhere now!

Coral is nice, but prefer Coralie

Beeziekn33ze · 08/01/2019 23:33

Prefer Coralie

@Notmyrealname85 Oh ! That's my name haha I am not chain smoking or muttony by the way! Do get lots of compliments on my name (can't say it had anything to do with me ) Do get called Carol a lot but I guess that wouldn't be as much of a problem nowadays as not many baby Carols around!

Calledyoulastnightfromglasgow · 08/12/2018 21:07

It’s teeth itching revolting

Like Cora though

tammytoby · 08/12/2018 21:05

Coralie is much prettier

stellarfox · 08/12/2018 20:58

Much prefer Cora!

AuntieStella · 08/12/2018 13:22

I prefer Coralie

Because Coral might just be a 'gemstone' name, and it's one that I do not wear for ecological reasons.

Astronica · 08/12/2018 13:18

It's a nay from me.

helpingvsdoinghomework · 07/12/2018 23:28

Sorry, but i really don't like it. Not my style

pipilangstrumpf · 07/12/2018 21:26

I prefer Coralie but why not? It's an interesting name and makes a refreshing change from all the Evies, Ellies, Poppies, Izzies etc. Go for it!

Charley50 · 07/12/2018 21:20

Love it!!!!!!

ItchySeveredFoot · 07/12/2018 21:14

I also thought of Rick from the walking dead.

17caterpillars1mouse · 07/12/2018 21:13

Love Coral it's quirky

I like Coralie too but prefer the simplistiy of Coral

Carolcool · 07/12/2018 20:17

Coral is lovely. It's a beautiful nature name.

Snowdrifthill · 07/12/2018 19:59

Sorry, Coral is a chain of betting shops.

Spooples · 07/12/2018 19:55

It pretty but reminds me too much of how Rick Grimes says Karl in "Walking Dead"

FogCutter · 07/12/2018 19:42

It's ok. Sounds a bit 1970s.

I love Coralie and Cora though.

Askma · 07/12/2018 19:34

Coral is a bookies to me.

That said I don't hate it as a name. Coralie is nicer.

BuffaloCauliflower · 07/12/2018 19:24

Coralie is lovely. Coral is really naff and makes me think of a middle aged, mutton dressed as lamb, chain smoking woman.

Beamur · 07/12/2018 19:22

Really don't like it. My Mum had it down as a possible name for me.
