Think we have finally decided on a name!

[Pluto30]

Cora Thomasina.

Surname is Lee, so Cora Lee.

Thoughts? DD is due in 3 days and I was about ready to just name her "the baby".

Cora is a beautiful name. Nice choice

I like Cora but, if I asked someone's name and they replied "Cora Lee" I would think they were saying "Coralie", probably because I know one. Sorry, not that helpful - many congratulations on your impending arrival!

Very nice. She'll have to get used to a little break between the two words when asked her name to stop it sounding like Coralie but she'll get used to that.

I love Cora but I would also assume Coralie when first heard.

I think Lee is a difficult surname to have, it's hard to use a lot of 'ee' ending names which cuts out a lot of popular choices and whatever name you choose sounds double barrelled.

As PPs have said, it's nice but people will probably think her name is Coralie?

Lovely

Love Cora. Really nice.

With a surname Lee it'll sound joined on for a lot of names so I wouldn't worry.

We did think about the Coralie thing but neither Cora nor Coralie are at all popular here, so I'm not too worried about it. Lee's a dick of a name to work with!

Yes! I love it. And I actually have a bit of 'name envy', tbh.

Cora is lovely, simple, strong and feminine. And Thomasina is probable my all time favourite girl's name (which I can't use, because DF's name is Thomas and he doesn't like the tradition of naming children after relatives...)

And Coralie is a really pretty name. So, I don't think that's something to be worried about.

Ah that's lovely. Great combo.

I can't help but think the C might be underheard when saying the first and surname together

It's very pretty, but does sound a little bit like 'orally' which may or may not be a problem.

Lovely name OP. Good luck!

The ora in oral and ora in Cora sound very different in my accent, so I'm not worried about that.

Cora Thomasina-stunning!
Beautiful name. Love it and Thomasina is a major guilty pleasure. The brothers I know with the surname Lee are Tom and Johnny.

I personally dislike the 'core' sound, so would perhaps use coraline as a full name to give her future options. You could still use Cora as a nn.

I prefer Constance nn Connie rather than Cora with your surname. It would prevent the Coralie/Orally issues too.

We have a good family friend named Connie, so that one's out, and I'm not a fan of Constance (or any virtue names except Grace). I don't see orally being an issue with the Australian accent.

I love the name Cora, sadly it was vetoed by my DH. I think Cora Lee is very pretty too, it has a certain country and western vibe!

Beautiful name!!

I love it!!

I'm another one who would think Coralie when I heard it.

That's fine though. It will only happen when someone addresses her by her full name which won't be often. You might get a few misunderstandings but nothing you can't live with. Cora is a pretty name. Congratulations!

Nice name.

To PP, not Coraline! That was the name of that creepy horror cartoon

I know a lovely little girl called Cora, it's a beautiful name!
