Middle name for Cora

[Chocolatesmellsfunny]

I think we're pretty set on Cora as a first name.. current front runner for middle is Alice (as it's a family name) but of course the A's run into each other and 2 x 2 syllable names are not ideal, so we're considering other options..

Criteria are:
3+ syllables (or possibly 1..?)
Doesn't start with A
Ends in a consonant

Only idea so far is Elizabeth but I'm not sold.. Any ideas?

Harriet
Marianne ( ends in N sound)
Josephine
Imogen
Catherine
Margaret
Berenice ( S sound)
Juliet
Damaris
Vivien

I knew of a beautiful lovely girl called Cora Beth. I love that name.

My late grandmother was Beatrice Cora (known as Cora) I think they sound just as nice the other way round?

Cora Alice is perfect. Love the name Cora

If not
Cora Clementine
Cora Margaret
Cora Pearl
Cora Mabel
Cora Margot

Love Cora Beth!

Cora Josephine
Cora Eloise
Cora Madeleine
Cora Rose
Cora Eve
Cora Eveline
Cora Grace
Cora Hope
Cora Imogen

I know it doesn't meet the syllable criteria but what about Cora Iris? It's my favourite Cora combination and not that different from Alice sound wise.

Otherwise how about:

Cora Beatrix
Cora Imogen
Cora Evelyn
Cora Scarlett
Cora Eloise
Cora Olive
Cora Violet

I came on to say Cora Beth too, sounds lovely 🙂

Cora Meredith
Cora Bethany
Cora Genevieve
Cora Maeve
Cora Leonie
Cora Madeleine
Cora Dorothy
Cora Jessamine
Cora Clementine
Cora Mirabelle
Cora Penelope
Cora Harriet
Cora Miriam
Cora Faye
Cora Rosalind
Cora Natalie
Cora Cecily
Cora Stephanie
Cora June

Cora Alice reminds me of 'The Last of the Mohicans' I like Cora Juliet, but it depends on the surname too.

Cora Pearl

Thanks all! Cora Beth sounds great but I'm pretty sure she's a character from The Waltons

I really like Cora Josephine and Cora Beatrix but sadly DP not so keen..

@LizzieAnt I know Alice is the other sister in Last of the Mohicans (both that ice actually read it..) - do you think that makes it weird?? I can't decide!

not that I've actually read it

Doesn't really fit but Cora linn/lynn is a waterfall in the Clyde it's such a beautiful spot, I've always thought it would be a nice name for a girl.

Cora Belle sounds sweet

Cora Jade

Cora Louise
Cora Claire
Cora Jane
Cora Anne
Cora Blue
Cora Jade
Cora Isolde
Cora Gail
Cora Helen
Cora Lorraine
Cora Faith

@Chocolatesmellsfunny
Ah no, it doesn't make it weird, just reminded me of it really. (I haven't read it either )

Doesn’t meet the criteria but when I saw the thread title my first thought was
Cora Marie

Looking at your criteria, what about Cora Jennifer?

If you like Cora Alice I'd just use that. It's lovely and it's not difficult to say.
