Noah, Jacob and Chloe
Or
Noah, Jacob and Cora

Which do you prefer? And why?
We are trying to shorten our shortlist and can't decide between the two. The other two names on our shortlist are Isabella/Isabel and Sofia.

Thank You!

Cora.. Chloe is dated imo..

rooarsome · 03/07/2020 12:31

Cora is timeless and sounds lovely with the other names.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 03/07/2020 12:31

Chloe. Cora is nice but Chloe is far prettier. Plus it fits it with the bible theme.

Whatsyourflava · 03/07/2020 12:43

Both really lovely

Tinamou · 03/07/2020 12:45

I like both but prefer Chloe. Noah and Cora are too similar sounding IMO.

Viviennemary · 03/07/2020 12:46

I prefer Cora. Chloe is OK too but maybe a little bit dated.

emmathedilemma · 03/07/2020 12:47

Cora

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 03/07/2020 12:49

Chloë. Cora is a lovely name but it doesn't fit as well with your ds' names imo.

Chloe has been overused in the past but is the nicer of the two namer.
I can't get past apple corer.

Isabella is much nicer but I'm not keen on Izzy.

Sophia is nicer than Sofia, but of the four names I'd choose Sofia.

Chloe is lovely but there are many of them. Cora just doesn’t appeal to me. I love Cara as an alternative.

@MikeUniformMike I was thinking of Isabella, as could shorten to Isabel if wanted a more grown up name.

I love Cora

uncomfortablydumb53 · 03/07/2020 12:59

Oh sorry, my reason is I think Cora is times and pretty, and goes nicely with your boys names

Chloe was very popular a few years ago but it's not that popular now, I don't think? I much prefer it to Cora and I think it goes better with your boys names - three biblical names.

ouch321 · 03/07/2020 13:05

Both nice

Roasties89 · 03/07/2020 13:05

Chloe x

kenandbarbie · 03/07/2020 13:06

Cora. Chloe sounds a bit French so doesn't go as well. Both lovely names though!

LotusClover · 03/07/2020 13:45

Cora makes me think of an apple corer and I don't think it fits well with your two boys names.

Chloe is beautiful and goes perfectly with Noah and Jacob.

123Dancewithme · 03/07/2020 13:48

Cora

GinnyStrupac · 03/07/2020 13:48

Cora, definitely. Chloe seems a little dated.

Iwalkinmyclothing · 03/07/2020 13:49

Chloe.

Because it's a nicer name and fits better with Noah and Jacob than Cora does.

GinnyStrupac · 03/07/2020 13:52

And Isabella/Isabel rather than Sophia. Cora and Isabella/Isabel go well together too.

Theforest · 03/07/2020 13:57

Cora is really lovely.

finallychangedmyusername · 03/07/2020 14:02

I personally prefer the name Cora but agree that Chloe fits better with the biblical theme.
