Cora

[proudfoot]

Opinions on Cora?

I think it's pretty and quite unusual (I don't see it around much at all) while still being a simple and easy name.

Thinking of Cora Jane...

What do you think?

In my 8 years teaching I've not come across a Cora, so for me that makes it fairly unusual. Nice enough name too.

I know of a Cora, but I had never heard of it until I met her, So I don't imagine she would be in a class with other Cora's.

I am not overly keen on it, but I think that is because my Ds1 has a name with only one letter different so it sounds like a mis-pronunciation of his name to me.

I think that sounds lovely. Haven't come across any Coras either, it is quite refined somehow.

Sounds very "old lady" to me.

hi i worked with a Cora yrs ago, young woman, i always loved the simplicity of it.

there is now one at dd's school. great name imo.

Unusual and pretty.

Particularly like Jane as a middle name - so much more classy than the usual Rose, Grace or May.

DS2's godmother (we have been friends since school) is called Cora. I think it is a lovely name.

Really dislike it.

Sounds like "Cor Blimey" and "Dora the Explorer" combined. Not good.

I like it. Not too fussy.

I love it because it reminds me of Agatha Christie. I can't remember the exact book but there's a very elegant Cora in it. I certainly prefer it to Clara/Cara/Coralie/Claudia.

Wasn't there a Cora in The Waltons? One of the neighbours, I think.

It's nice.

I really like it.

Nice.

I associate it with middle aged ladies, and I think I would put it in the Ethel and Mavis category personally.

I think it's lovely. Cora Jane has a really nice rhythm. It is a bit old fashioned but so is Florence and that's super popular right now!

I love it.

couldn't use it though as it rhymes with my DDs name :(

Very pretty

I quite like it and wouldn't class is in the old lady category

Love it.

I like Cora but what if she marries a Mr Napple?

Great name. Think of 'Last of the Mohicans'

Wasn't she Corbette in the Waltons?

I like it. There's a Cora in that Hugh Grant film 'Music and Lyrics' she's the young popstar one.

I like it. I know of one little girl called Cora, she's the only one I've ever come across, and she's lovely. And very talented. So I have all positive associations with it!

No no no just no
