I am thinking of the name Cora...wasn't on my list before but saw on another thread.....what do you think?. I need a short name or perhaps to use Cora as a middle name.....does anyone know any Cora's?!

Yay from me - love it!

whotheduckisalice · 12/07/2014 10:24

Total yay from me based on the beautiful Cora from downtown! (Sorry!)

My 16 month old daughter is named Cora so obviously I love it :). Its definitely rising in popularity though.

Wetthemogwai · 12/07/2014 10:31

Love it but had it as a nn for Corinne on our names list.

Either way, go for it , it's lovely :)

I would have said no but I know the most beautiful little girl called Cora and she has changed my mind completely so I'd say yes go for it.

BetterWithCheese · 12/07/2014 10:48

I really like it too Smile

Caitmous · 12/07/2014 10:48

Yay

DeputyPecksBentBeak · 12/07/2014 10:55

Yay here, too. It's beautiful

Bowlersarm · 12/07/2014 10:57

Yay

burgatroyd · 12/07/2014 10:58

Its OK. No strong feelings

woolcos · 12/07/2014 11:06

Like it a lot. Unusual (without being trendy and weird) and classy

JazzAnnNonMouse · 12/07/2014 11:07

I like it but it reminds me of evil lady from once upon a time - not everyone will get that reference though!

TwiggyHeart · 12/07/2014 11:08

Thanks everyone, my DD's name is quite high on the popularity list (wasn't when I had her!) so wanted something a bit different without being too weird! Think it's def up there (just need to convince DH now....)

Yah!

fanjodisfunction · 12/07/2014 12:55

I love it, cant use it myself as it clashes horribly with my last name. Makes me think of the lead lady in last of the mohicans.

findingherfeet · 12/07/2014 13:12

Lovely name!

TheScottishPlay · 12/07/2014 13:51

Cora is a really lovely, ageless name.

ZenGardener · 12/07/2014 13:57

I like it but it would totally depend on your last name.

Funghoul · 12/07/2014 14:02

I have a Cora! It's a lovely old fashioned name which we favour, different without being weird or made up, and seems to really suit our dd. I love it, even if I did have to tell the hv 3 times no not Corey.

squoosh · 12/07/2014 15:13

I have an aunt called Cora. It's quite a common name amongt older Irish women.

silveryscales · 12/07/2014 15:41

Yay from me. Nice name

Gingerjv · 12/07/2014 17:25

I do not like this name much( so i would use it only for middle name. But i see all of the commnets are positive)))

ApplebyMennym · 12/07/2014 17:35

It's cute, but I prefer Corrine.
