Any votes on a favourite between Cora or Stella?

Also open to alternatives with a similar vibe!

Stella is lovely.

I love Stella, it's so pretty.

I think Cora is a hard sounding name.

Simd1 · 17/12/2023 21:52

Definitely prefer Stella

Had I been lucky enough to have a 2nd child and a daughter I would have chosen Stella . I think it is a lovely name - It gets my vote

@Quinque what about Estrella if beer connection worries you.

This is exactly what I think of any time anyone says Estella as an alternative to sound less like beer! I think it sounds more like a beer 😂

They’re not to my taste but I like Cora better of the two.

similar ‘types’ of name in my opinion

Lydia
Kathleen/kathy
bernice/bernie
Leanne
Jeanette
Lesley
Stephanie

Stella - it has spark

Cora is nice though

I love Estella but it’s much softer sounding to me - quite a different vibe

Yolanda
Lois
Oona
Vita
Hera
Vivienne
Clio
Astrid
Thora
Jocelyn
Zoe
Catriona
Catrin

Have a similar sparky vibe to me -

I also liked Lydia, but can't get away from the Lydia Teapot joke!

Both nice but Cora wins (I would say that as I have one)

Or how about Sylvia?
