Middle name for Cora

31 replies

I think we're pretty set on Cora as a first name.. current front runner for middle is Alice (as it's a family name) but of course the A's run into each other and 2 x 2 syllable names are not ideal, so we're considering other options..

Criteria are:
3+ syllables (or possibly 1..?)
Doesn't start with A
Ends in a consonant

Only idea so far is Elizabeth but I'm not sold.. Any ideas?

I know it doesn't meet the syllable criteria but what about Cora Iris? It's my favourite Cora combination and not that different from Alice sound wise.

Otherwise how about:

Cora Beatrix
Cora Imogen
Cora Evelyn
Cora Scarlett
Cora Eloise
Cora Olive
Cora Violet

My late grandmother was Beatrice Cora (known as Cora) I think they sound just as nice the other way round?

I knew of a beautiful lovely girl called Cora Beth. I love that name.
