Cora

[summerloving2506]

There is something very appealing to me about this name and its one I have found myself coming back to time and time again in my quest for the perfect name.

But would you say its too close to coronavirus to be useable now? Or would you not link Cora to Coronavirus?
Would it be okay paired with a sibling with a name ending in "ah"? Or would you say they are too similar?
What are your honest opinions of this name too please?

Look forward to hearing your thoughts/opinions.

Many thanks.

I like Cora. I wouldn’t link it to the virus. I also like Cara.

I Only know of one Cora and think it’s a beautiful name and in no way makes me think of coronavirus.

Is it short for something? I have a slight obsession with very short names - mum and grandma had very short names and we all have crazy long ones, and I remember being convinced that their names were short versions of something that they just weren’t telling me about (I was only about 4).

@SerenityNowwwww Cora wouldn't be short for anything. I prefer short names.

Oh ok. I wouldn’t associate it with Coronavirus. I suppose it needs to sound nice with the surname.

I like it. Didnt think or Corona

I have a Cora!
Still love the name. Her Sister's name also ends in an "a", so I would say not too similar at all x

Like Downton abbey

I quite like it, as long as it isn't pronounced so it rhymes with apple corer, which is how it will be in a lot of English accents. With the 'a' pronounced, as it is in Ireland, it's so much nicer. The only Cora I know is an Irish teenager.

It's a name that's grown on me recently. It doesn't make me think of the virus at all.

I have a Cora too, she's 14 now I've only ever met 1 other Cora. I think it's unusual enough to not be too common but not so unusual it's a bit odd!

It’s lovely. The right kind of classic plainness.

Would not associate it with the virus. Round here, it's either the name of middle women or a zillion under 5s.

Beautiful. Wouldn’t think of the virus at all - different pronunciation

Absolutely would not make me think of coronavirus. Not at all.

It would immediately bring me to Cora Flange in Carry On Abroad however.

It is literally Cor a .......... There is potential for bullying right there.

Could it be short for Coraline? Either way, it's a beautiful name!

One of my favourite ever names. I really love it though never met one
Sounds like it willl compliment the sibling name well too

Love it, wouldn't associate with Corona at all

I like Cora. And wouldn't associate it with Coronavirus.

My DS friend is called Cora. They are 8 years old. I think it’s a lovely name and did not think of a Covid connection

No Covid connection in my brain but it's definitely a name on its way up the popularity charts (if that bothers you). I know a couple of them.
