Hi all I’m back again, despite knowing I was having a girl from 15 weeks she is here with no name. Feeling the pressure big time, all help appreciated.
Names

Emilia
Ada (DH favourite)
Lydia
Nina

Or Cora both love but could we really call our daughter Cora Kane?

This is going to be unhelpful but I love all of them! Nina is my girl’s name of choice, although no DD yet- classic, underused, beautiful name!!

My brother would have been a Lydia, such a lovely name.

Ada and Cora are the least appealing to me, but both lovely as well.

TubeTop · 26/08/2018 20:07

All good but Ada Kane sounds a bit harsh and Emilia is the name of the moment and far too popular.

Cora, Nina both fab.

Don't be pressured it took us ages to name our dd.

Gorbie · 26/08/2018 20:08

My baby girl is Emilia Alice, I do like Emilia Kane

DramaAlpaca · 26/08/2018 20:10

If you both love Cora then go for it. I think you'll regret it if you don't as you love it so much. Cora Kane is fine.

TubeTop · 26/08/2018 20:11

Lydia is the silly little sister in Pride and Prejudice!

Aquamarine1029 · 26/08/2018 20:40

Cora Kane is wonderful! Powerful yet still feminine. I think it's perfect.

MrsSnootyPants2018 · 26/08/2018 20:44

Ada Emilia works.

Pigeonpresent · 26/08/2018 20:44

Cora! I wasn’t sure what to name our son at 10 days but it has grown on me the more i’ve got to know him. My point being it doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s just a little part of her.

Jessbow · 26/08/2018 20:52

Lydia Kane sounds like a dentist's injection

rainsbows · 26/08/2018 21:13

Biased as it's dd's name but love Emilia

isabella2 · 26/08/2018 21:23

Emilia is my favourite followed by Cora.

GoodHeavensNoImAChicken · 26/08/2018 21:27

Both Emilia and Cora are lovely. Cora Kane works imo, don’t worry about the alliteration!

Babymammy · 26/08/2018 21:32

Congratulations! Another for Cora Kane ! Also like Ada Kane

Picknickers · 26/08/2018 22:27

Cora Kane is awesome!

AlliKaneErikson · 28/08/2018 01:07

With a name like Kane she needs to be called Harriet (Harri Kane!!).
In all seriousness, though, Cora works but as much as I like the name Lydia it does sound like ‘lidocaine’ the drug, when said with Kane.

NoCureForLove · 28/08/2018 01:16

Cora Kane is great.
You could always use Coralie or Coral nn Cora.

IllBeAtTheBarIfYouNeedMe · 28/08/2018 01:17

I actually know a Cora Kane. She’s lovely.

Cora is nice but I do prefer Lydia from your list.

However, she’s your baby and I’m sure you and do already know what you want to call her. Dont worry, it’ll be perfect Smile

Beeziekn33ze · 28/08/2018 01:19

Cora Kane is cool!
I do like the name Lydia but imho Cora goes perfectly with Kane.

Congratulations, enjoy your baby!💐

BlankTimes · 28/08/2018 01:40

Cora, single syllable middle name that does not start with a vowel or C or K , Kane sounds good to me.

DeadDoorpost · 28/08/2018 01:45

Cora Kane just sounds like youve taken the names of Roman Atwood's kids (youtuber)

Emelia is nice

NC4Now · 28/08/2018 01:48

What’s wrong with Cora Kaine? I like it.

TroubledLichen · 28/08/2018 01:53

Congratulations! Cora Caine is a pain killer ointment for people with false teeth. Lydia Kane sounds like Lidocaine, another drug. I’d avoid either of those because they sound like you found your ‘inspiration’ whilst sleep deprived and picking up nappies at the pharmacy.

Nina is my favourite but any of the other options would also be fine.

Pemba · 28/08/2018 02:39

Lydia and Nina are lovely. I prefer Amelia to Emilia.

Ada and Cora are both a bit fusty.

fieryginger · 28/08/2018 03:03

Cora Kane is great. Congratulations!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/08/2018 12:24

Emilia Cane is nice.
Prefer Cara to Cora.
