Any thoughts? I keep coming back to it but still unsure!

It's lovely, as is Cara.

I really like Cara but not keen on Cora (like a pp I think of an apple corer).

Makes me think of cawing crows. Sorry.

If it’s good enough for Downton Abbey!

I love Cora, but then, it's my daughter's name so I would! I loved the fact it was pretty and elegant but strong, easy to pronounce and spell, travels well internationally and is still unusual enough to (probably) be the only one in her class. Plus the meanings are lovely - in Lowland Scots it means swirling pool (like the Cora Lynn waterfalls), and in Greek it means maiden, and is another name for Persephone in her "bringer of spring" guise, if you know the myth?

I like it, like Coraline even more.

I like it. Also Coral and Coraline. All gorgeous!

Coralline makes me think of the creepy girl with button eyes.

Love it, I know a brand new baby Cora and it was the first time I heard the name irl

I'm not keen on it. It seems a hard name.
Cara/ Kara is softer sounding and prettier.

Much prefer Cara which is far classier.
