Sister for Cora

[countrystumpkin]

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!

The boy names we'd decided on were either Otto or Rafe (just would wait until birth to see which he suited more. Some good ideas so far!

Daphne
Sylvie
Unity
Lena
Frances
Rita
Elsie
Ainsley
Rachel
Louise

Mabel
Faith
Sophie

Delilah if you can bear something a little longer!

Or Delora, Delana maybe

What about Fawn? Or Elspeth?

Oh Cora and Elspeth are lovely! Shorten to Elsie maybe?

Glad the suggestions have been helpful!

Otto is a great pick @countrystumpkin
Rafe nice too but quite a lot of names get shortened to Raffy (Rafferty, Raphael, Rafe, Ralph) so feels less special than Otto to me.

Names we like from the suggestions are:

Etta
Lyla/Lila/Lilah (not sure on spelling)
Margot

Also like Ivy and Mabel but can't use because of relatives using the name.

Really helpful so far!

@Ecetera - dp and I did actually discus those options when naming our Cora . I also like Eska and Asami.

@Nellephant great minds 😉😂

I feel like I say this ALL the time but I love Astrid - Cora and Astrid.

Also someone further up said Nancy which is lovely.
