I love Nina, but not with big sis Anna.
Unless you're a Tolstoy fan: Anna (kare) Nina :)

Of the other three, I like Cora best.

I did NOT think of Anna (kare) Nina! 😂🙈

Thanks all. Leaning towards Cora, though also thought tonight of Eliza as another one for the shortlist?

Not sure if Anna and Eliza are too close to a certain Disney pairing though!

Does adding Eliza in make a difference to any answers?

Cora
Eliza
Stella
Nina
Georgia

Lovely shortlist!

Nina - love it! And not too commonly used either
Georgia - gorgeous
Cora - nice but like Cara even more
Stella - lovely name but I think I’d be hesitant because of the lager

LimeOrangeLemon · 25/11/2023 19:25

Cora is my favourite

I love Stella. I grew up near a Stella Maris

I know one from Leicester. It's a beautiful name

AdoraFruitcake · 25/11/2023 08:58

Georgia seems a bit boring compared to the others.

I like the other three very much - strong, feminine, unfussy - but Nina is my favourite.

Cressie2 · 25/11/2023 08:57

Nina or Stella. Both very cool.

Vittoriosa · 25/11/2023 08:55

I like Nina or Cora

Mummytobe333 · 25/11/2023 06:56

Love the name Cora 💕 was almost our girls name (we chose Thea) but still love the name Cora too!

cheleuh · 20/11/2023 12:57

We are in Scotland and there’s LOADS of Cora

Really? I'm in Scotland too and don't know any!

DD1 is Anna. Is Anna and Nina too much of a mouthful?! 😂 Maybe should have included that in the OP!

Out of those I would rather be called Cora or Nina. I slightly prefer Nina over Cora; however, I would have a slight curiosity regarding her nationality as the Ninas I have encountered have all been Russian.

Pemba · 19/10/2023 10:27

I love Nina and Stella, simple, classy, with a slightly quirky vibe.

I like Georgia although I do prefer Georgina, just think it flows a bit better.

Not keen on Cora although it seems to be getting fashionable. Apple cores, as a pp said, plus I think of the weird twin aunts, Cora and Clarice, in Gormenghast. Probably that's quite niche.

Threewheeler1 · 19/10/2023 08:25

Vote for Cora here, it's really lovely!

Great list. I love Georgia and Stella

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 19/10/2023 07:25

Could you do Georgina and use Nina as a shortened version. Not heard of it as a short for gerorgina but don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

Snailblue · 18/10/2023 23:24

I love Stella. I grew up near a Stella Maris
