dementedpixie · 01/06/2024 13:24

Cora = core-a
Corra = corr-a

Cheeesus · 01/06/2024 13:25

Also to rhyme with Flora. I’m not sure what The difference is between your two options?

Corr-ra
Or

I'd pronounce both of your examples the same way

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 01/06/2024 13:26

If it was pronounced Corr-a would it not be spelled like that? Corra? It's always pronounced Core-a as far as I know.

Exactly this
Cora Dora Nora Flora

Thulpelly · 01/06/2024 13:27

CORRA (as in lorra-love 😂), not CAWra (to rhyme with aura/dora the explorer)

is how the Cora I know pronounces it.

dementedpixie · 01/06/2024 13:28

Aura and Dora don't rhyme for me

Thulpelly · 01/06/2024 13:28

Cora like Coraline/Coronation
