Baby names

[Kirsxlou]

Expecting a little girl in july and Really like the names Rowan-Rose and Kora-Rose as double barrelled names and can’t decide between the two! but would still really a middle name! any ideas?

Arg! Just realised Korra autocorrected to Korea . It's 'Legend of Korra'!

I'll stop posting now..

Would you not like Cora Rowan Rose Carnell? Both family names in there too

Oops. Carnall sorry.

I agree the spelling Kora seems to lack class and i just imagine a really chavvy family... plus it will forever get spelt wrong and be irritating. Cora is beautiful and on our list.

I know 2 baby boy Rowans and a 6 yr old who now hates her name as its the same as the class bully (a boy)

If you arnt planning to hyphonate them then rose could be the 3rd name? Cora ....... rose.... surname

Using other names on our list assuming we both like Cora....

Cora sasha rose
Cora harper rose
Cora Regan rose
Cora Roma Rose

Or why not Cora Rowan Rose.... seems to solve the problem?

I have met a female Rowan and there was a female journalist with that first name. However it is more usually a boys name

Rowan is nice but to me doesn't seem right with Rose. Cora is lovely but really dislike the K spelling

As Cora derives from the ancient Greek word Kora (or Kore in some dialects), I think the K is fine, even if it's not the most common spelling.

I think Kora Rose is nice - I wouldn't use a hyphen though.

Kora spelt like that just reminds me of chicken korma and Kia Ora sorry! Cora spelt the traditional way is lovely though. Not keen on Rowan for a girl as I know a couple of boys with the name, so it just sounds too masculine to me. What about Robyn? Rory is also a great unisex name... Aurora as the full name with Rory as a nickname. Tessa, Clara, Dora, Leona? Leona Rose is nice. Or how about Rosa as a first name, if your oh is very keen on having "rose" in the name.

I like Rowan best but not with Rose. Kora is okay. Why does your partner get to choose Rose over your longtime choice of Daisy (which is lovely btw)? Find something else you both like if you're not so keen on Rose. He doesn't get to make a final decision that discounts your wishes. Rose doesn't flow well after Kora or Rowan - Daisy sounds much better.

Some you could use for 3rd name: Elizabeth, Frances, Eleanor, Faith, Anna, Camille, Phoebe.

Just Cora, not with the K, or Rowan sound good.

What about Clara-Rose?

I first thought of Korn when I saw the name Kora. And Korma. Could you spell it with a C? Also like Rowen lots and its a unisex name so can deffo use it

I love Cora Rose
How about:
Cora Rose Madeline?

With or without the hyphens, I find Rowan Rose and Cora/Kora Rose quite difficult to say. Very R heavy.

I'd use Cora (prefer this traditional spelling) in the first spot, another middle, then Rose.

Suggestions:

Cora Elizabeth Rose
Cora Madeleine Rose
Cora Jessamine Rose (this is quite floral-heavy though)
Cora Bethany Rose
Cora Emily Rose (this is lovely)
Cora Felicity Rose

I like Cora and Rowan, also love PP's suggestions of Aurora/Aurelia with Rory as a NN.

I thought it was Rowen for a girl

Agree with previous poster..

Cora rowan rose is wonderful!

Cora and Rowan are both great names. Cora more unusual. Rowan is unisex (Roman is definitely a boys name though).

I wouldn’t double barrel - it has a very downmarket feel (unless you’re French!) In the same way if you go for Cora I’d spell it with a C, or it just looks a bit illiterate.

I think PP is right that if you want a third given name, have it in between eg Cora Elizabeth Rose, Rowan Charlotte Rose etc

I prefer Rowan Rose but not keen on that spelling for a girl apparently you can spell it Rohan as well

Cora is nice, but Kora is awful - it makes a classy name very unclassy. Cora-Rosa is so hard to say in my opinion. Too 'r' heavy.

I like Cora and Rowan but really dislike hyphens, I think they also sort of cheapen the name. Sorry

I'd choose Rowan Rose (no hyphen) or Cora without Rose (or with another middle between 'Cora' and 'Rose').

Sorru OP, just realised you're not planning on using the hyphen! Missed that the first time I read the thread.

I think your initial idea of Cora Daisy is amazing! It sounds sort of vintage and strong, I imagine Cora Daisy to be a fiesty funny little girl. Rose as a middle name is pretty but overdone. If you're going to put a second middle name, i'd put a slightly sort of fiestier middle name in there like:
Cora Nancy Rose
Cora Eliza Rose

Rowan-Rose
Both are plants. Rowans don't have roses. Rowan seems more of a boy's name to me

Kora-Rose
Cora is the usual spelling, so spelling it with a K would mean having to correct people.

-Rose
Rose is a filler middle name. Hyphenating two names usually ruins both parts, and is considered a bit naff. The -Rose bit won't get used.
