Does nobody like the name Cora?

Every time I mention it to people IRL as one of my favourite names they pull an 'errrr' face haha. Have also noticed online it doesn't get the best reception.

I just think it's cute and compact!

If you dislike it are there negative connotations I wasn't aware of or is it the sound of it that grates on you? Grin

I do. But I also quite like Nora.
I know a Coral, she's lovely.

BlackThumb · 18/08/2017 13:49

Love it. Smile

I like it but I have a pronunciation issue with rs so would avoid it Grin

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 18/08/2017 13:51

Very weirdly I like

Lara
Cara
Dora

Whilst not liking Cora

HumphreyCobblers · 18/08/2017 13:51

I love it too.

It is simple, classic and it is widely known about but not widely used.

TroysMammy · 18/08/2017 13:52

It's a cousin's middle name and she hates it. She is in her 50's now and that hate has never subsided.

TroysMammy · 18/08/2017 13:53

It makes her think of the remains of a chewed up apple.

EricaSeas · 18/08/2017 13:56

I love it. Also love Rosa which I think is kind of similar.

BenLui · 18/08/2017 13:57

I think it's a lovely name.

I know two beautiful Coras so I have positive associations.

HateSummer · 18/08/2017 13:57

Reminds me of Eastenders

SnowiestMountain · 18/08/2017 13:58

I love it, if I had another child which I'm not that's what I'd call her

TheNaze73 · 18/08/2017 13:59

Love it.

LivLemler · 18/08/2017 13:59

I really like it. I know one and everyone was very enthusiastic when her name was announced. Think she'd be about 2 or 3 by now.

Nicolasusanne · 18/08/2017 14:00

I think it's quite nice. It does make me think of EastEnders though. If you like it then go for it.

LorLorr2 · 18/08/2017 14:04

Thank you! Happy to find people who like it just as much :)
I'll keep in mind Eastenders and a chewed up apple (which made me Lol) always interested in what different people connect to different names.

I like it, and I think of Cora from Downton Abbey.

PenelopeFlintstone · 18/08/2017 14:08

I don't mind it.

holidayqueriwifi · 18/08/2017 14:34

It's pretty! A fairly inoffensive-sounding name!

NotTheCoolMum · 18/08/2017 14:41

It was my no 1 choice girls name. We went on to have DS however Grin

kittythames · 18/08/2017 14:49

I love it too.

annandale · 18/08/2017 14:51

Prefer Coral or Dora.

DramaAlpaca · 18/08/2017 14:54

I hate it, I don't like the look of it or the sound of it.

I also dislike Nora and Dora, so it must be that combination of letters and sounds. To me they are all ugly old fashioned names.

Sorry OP, don't mean to offend just my opinion.

chamenanged30 · 18/08/2017 14:54

Prefer Cara

Rainatnight · 18/08/2017 14:56

I love it. It was on our list but got vetoed by DP
