You’re fine. Neither name sounds dodgy.

I prefer Cora, it's got the same ring but feels more elegant to me.

user8905 · 06/12/2018 21:02

Yes, just reminds me of gambling.

wildewillow · 06/12/2018 21:18

I prefer Cora

DramaAlpaca · 06/12/2018 22:35

Not for me. It makes me think of shellfish Confused

EloisaJane · 07/12/2018 19:19

It's lovely. Love Coralie too.
Only downside is some accents don't pronounce the L at the end of words so it becomes Coraw which isn't nice.
I have a friend with a baby Coralie and I think it is such a perfect name. Can be shortened to Coral or Cora and is unusual, pretty but easy to pronounce.

Beamur · 07/12/2018 19:22

Really don't like it. My Mum had it down as a possible name for me.

BuffaloCauliflower · 07/12/2018 19:24

Coralie is lovely. Coral is really naff and makes me think of a middle aged, mutton dressed as lamb, chain smoking woman.

Askma · 07/12/2018 19:34

Coral is a bookies to me.

That said I don't hate it as a name. Coralie is nicer.

FogCutter · 07/12/2018 19:42

It's ok. Sounds a bit 1970s.

I love Coralie and Cora though.

Spooples · 07/12/2018 19:55

It pretty but reminds me too much of how Rick Grimes says Karl in "Walking Dead"

Snowdrifthill · 07/12/2018 19:59

Sorry, Coral is a chain of betting shops.

Carolcool · 07/12/2018 20:17

Coral is lovely. It's a beautiful nature name.

17caterpillars1mouse · 07/12/2018 21:13

Love Coral it's quirky

I like Coralie too but prefer the simplistiy of Coral

ItchySeveredFoot · 07/12/2018 21:14

I also thought of Rick from the walking dead.

Charley50 · 07/12/2018 21:20

Love it!!!!!!
