Cora? Becoming popular?

I really like this name at the moment. Classy, known but I feel underused, still a little different. What do you think? Is it growing in popularity?

I know two Cora’s, they’re both 3 years old
According to Nameberry it’s going to increase in popularity and is already top 100 in US

No from me. Im 52, went to school with a Cora, she was a right cow, horrible child,

I live in an area of London which I would say has lots of kids named things which might then grow in popularity elsewhere. I've never heard of or met a baby cora. Ive also taught for 10+ years in a girls school and never met one. I absolutely love it.

Awful name. Makes me think of an apple corer. Cara is beautiful though.

I think it's nice. I don't think it's hugely popular (certainly not Ava/Amelia/Mia levels of popularity), but perhaps it varies based on area. I know a Coralie which I find to be a lovely name too.

I like it. I know a little Cora but it's not widely popular or anything.

What about coralie?

Rocketpants50 · 11/05/2023 22:34

Nice name but always reminds me of the big French supermarkets.

It sounds like a sleazy cockney geezer saying "Cor.... A -" and then some misogynistic slur about a woman.

That's exactly how I hear it too. All I can hear is Sid James....
