Cora pronunciation?

Think I love the girls name Cora... how is it pronounced / how would you pronounce it as default though?

From looking online, advice seems to vary between CORE-ah (rhymes with flora and dora, where the first syllable is pronounced like apple core); and C-OR-a / Cawr-a (where the first syllable rhymes with for!)

Not sure if this is an accent / regional difference or not... votes please!

@dementedpixie fair, didn't think of that 🤦

One of my bosses calls me Co raaar
Drive me nuts, I do correct him, and his accent isn't dissimilar to mine

I really didn't mean to cause such a fuss! 😂🙈

@dementedpixie I've never heard of Corra Linn waterfall... have now googled it though and realised it's also some kind of cheese?!

Irritatingly middle name would be Lynne after DH's late mother. So Cora Lynne? Which after all that might be a deal breaker 😩

And @ZoyaTheDestroyer - fair enough, though I did to be fair mention accents / regional differences in my OP! Just didn't specify mine til asked.
