Coral

[SummerRose999]

What are your thoughts on the name Coral?

Would it be too old fashioned? Too "under the sea"?

My son's have top 10 biblical names so this would be a bit out there and not really fit with their names?

The other name I've been thinking about is Grace. But is Grace too boring? Had it's day?

No. You are naming a child, not a mermaid.

Grace is a beautiful timeless name. Coral isn’t dreadful, but prefer Grace.

I think Coral is a pretty name!

Just thinking she may always be mistaken as Carol.

My first thought was did you mean Carole, so she may get that a lot. Grace is a beautiful name, and if your boys have biblical names it would fit in better.

Gorgeous

Are you in the UK?

Coral is the UK's biggest high street betting shop business. You will rarely find a street of shops without a coral within 200m.

Not a fan of coral. Seems like some kind of stage name to me.

No.

Coral is a beautiful name, I like Grace but I doubt she would be the only Grace at school as it is popular.

If your looking for a biblical name what about Rebekah( the biblical spelling) Ruth, I also love Mary and think it is time for a come back

No. No and no.

The sister of a school friend was / is called Coral. She did get Carol a lot but Carol isn't a popular name now so I think it's a lot less likely to be a problem.

I think it's a nice name, quite unusual without being out there. She's not a boy, so I don't see that she needs to 'match' her brothers' names.

It’s pretty - I probably wouldn’t be brave enough to use it - but it definitely feels like a name that could make a comeback. I agree it could get mistaken for Carol a lot. Do you like

I think it's lovely. It's a little bit different, but not weird .

Grace is extremely common where I live , especially as a middle name. What about Coral Grace?

Also , there is the chance of people teasing and calling her Disgrace.

Coral isn’t a name but Cora is beautiful.

@Mairzydotes

Do people called Grace get called Disgrace? I've never heard that one.

A lovely name. Your child's happiness matters more than the name anyhow.

Coral no. Grace lovely.

depends if you actually like coral or not - you are naming your child after a colony of invertebrates. Ok if you like invertebrates

I think Coral is gorgeous. It invokes beachy/sunny/happy vibes for me.

I know two. One is in her 70s the other is late 20s. The name suits both equally so I think it ages with its bearer well.
As PPs have suggested, if you're a little hesitant then Cora is also lovely.

Grace is nice, but a bit boring for my personal taste.

I like Coral. I like Cora and Cara too.

Josh Widecombe's dd is called Pearl. With considering?

really? If coral is on the beach, it is dead. It is NOT happy

Yep. That's just the vibe it gives me.

Strangely, I get a far less pleasant one from you.

why, I actually appreciate Coral for what it is, not some made up fantasy that it is a pretty rock. it is awesome. But it is invertebrates, and don't call your child after invertebrates unless you like invertebrates. Your child is not going to like being called after invertebrates if they live in a family which gets annoyed at bees and spiders and things
