How would you pronounce the name Cora?

[jumpforjoyitsaboy]

Corr-ra
Or
Like Coral without the L?

Like apple core rah

To rhyme with flora, Laura, Dora and poorer (in my accent)

Depends if you have a lisp

Core-a to rhyme with Dora, Flora, Nora. In my (Scottish) accent, Laura is a different phoneme, pronounced Law-ra. None of these sound the same as words ending -er/-ar and Coral is Caw-ril rather than Core-ril.

Core - a

Co - ra (like co op)

Core ah

Depends if you have a lisp

Eh? A lisp affects pronunciation of the 's' sound.

Core- a. Otherwise it would be spelt Corra, with 2 R’s

This.

Rhymes with Dora, Laura, flora

I now want kittens called Dora, Flora, Nora and Cora.

Corea

Eh?
Cora will pronounced as Corea? Where does the E feature in Cora?

Eh?
Cora will pronounced as Corea? Where does the E feature in Cora?

The poster meant the sound 'core' (i.e. the word core, which doesn't sound the 'e' on the end), followed by the sound 'a'.

Honestly, you can't tell difference between aural test and oral test?

How would you manage with a language exam? You wouldn't know which test was on which day - speaking or listening!!!

I'm quite interested to know what accent this is! ( ESOL teacher here)

@valorie ,
aural
[ˈɔːr(ə)l]
oral
[ˈɔːr(ə)l]

but I'd not say them exactly the same

Core-ah

Corr-a

Core-ah.

Are the people saying Corr-a saying "Corr" as a short O sound?

There is only one R so it should be a long O sound.

It's Caw-ra or Core-ah in America, at least where I live. It's a popular name where I live. It's not a short O regardless of the regional accent.

No, it’s an Irish name and its
Core - a

One of the reasons we chose Cora was that there would be no issues with pronunciation. Clearly we were wrong 😬🤣

Like Coar-a

Name your child Cora and her name will be pronounced Cora OP.

There is no other pronounciation. It’s a beautiful name ❤️

???
Laura doesn’t rhyme with either Flora or Cora
Flor - a
Core - a
Law -ra
