I'd choose Cora.

MadCatLadee · 07/02/2021 15:40

Cora

yikesanotherbooboo · 07/02/2021 15:49

Cara for me. I like them all but Cara feels slightly less trendy.

OddsNSodsBitsNBobs · 07/02/2021 15:52

Cara, but to throw in the mix how about Carla?

YoniAndGuy · 07/02/2021 15:53

Clara I find clunky and plump - I don't get the love for it.

Cara and Cora both good but Cora edges it, slightly more unusual.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 07/02/2021 15:56

Difficult as all are lovely! I think I'd possibly choose Cara, as Clara and (to a lesser extent) Cora are more retro/vintage - where as Cara feels a bit less linked to a particular time imo. Second choice would be Cora, third Clara.

Cora! Beautiful name

Ismellphantoms · 07/02/2021 15:59

Clara. It's a classic name.

Ellmau · 07/02/2021 16:01

Cara

Longdistance · 07/02/2021 16:04

Clara. See username Wink

Redskyyy · 07/02/2021 16:06

Clara

MoChridhe · 07/02/2021 16:10

Cara is my favourite.

TinyCake · 07/02/2021 16:15

I nearly had a Carla, and also liked Carly. Only didn't because there's a Clara in my OHs family.

DreamingInColours · 07/02/2021 16:20

I believe Cara is friend in Irish which is very sweet.

MirandaMarple · 07/02/2021 16:20

Clara.

JaquelineBeanstalk · 07/02/2021 16:23

Cora! I had a great aunt of that name, who was an absolute hoot!

So it’s a well recognised name, no issues over spelling, not overly used right now, great as a little girls name as well as an adult woman’s.

But they are all lovely, I don’t hate any of them.

BrilliantBetty · 07/02/2021 16:29

Clara

unmarkedbythat · 07/02/2021 16:30

Clara, by far

iwontfloaatt · 07/02/2021 17:34

Cara. It's beautiful and so under-used.

Happenchance · 07/02/2021 18:15

Clara. Cora makes me think of an apple corer.

Hippopotas · 07/02/2021 18:20

Cora

Only because I know a cara so wouldn’t use that and my brother had a guinea pig called clara

finallychangedmyusername · 07/02/2021 18:41

I really like all three and would be hard pushed to choose a favourite. I also like Coral, Claire, Carys and Carly.

partyatthepalace · 07/02/2021 19:05

Clara all the way, feels like more of a proper name with a history than the other two, and also think it’s the prettiest.

Halo1234 · 07/02/2021 19:48

I have a Kara. Love that name. She was almost Carla which I always love. Just while we are on a c theme.....have u considered Caris which I also love.
Tbh they are all nice. You can't go wrong.

IdblowJonSnow · 07/02/2021 19:53

I like all of them! Maybe Cara is my least fave although the meaning is lovely as a PP said.
