Sister for Cora

Baby due in a few weeks and really struggling with girl names. Boy name is picked but need help with girl names.

Have a daughter called Cora and our surname is quite long so a nice short name with similar feel to Cora would be ideal. Thanks for any suggestions!

My daughter was nearly Cora! We went with Ada. I also really like Mabel, Ivy, Edith, Penelope and Emmeline. I think they’d all go really well

PatsyStone39 · 05/02/2021 21:59

I had Cora on my list. We also had Clara if you wanted to stick with C names.

I would pick a name with a similar Downton Abbey vibe :) In the Baby Name Wizard, names with the same style as Cora are Ada, Alice, Mary, Penelope, Hazel, Audrey, Adele, Esme.

Nellephant · 06/02/2021 13:18

I have a Cora 🙂

If she ever has a sister some names I'd consider would be..
Alice
Eleanor (Nell)
Hazel
Hebe
Diana
Beatrix
Dorothy
Althea
Sophie
Anna
