Cora & Ada?

[Anyoneforcheese]

Expecting baby girl 2 at the end of this year. We already have a Cora, is Ada too similar? I think it’s okay, DH thinks they’re too similar…

I think it's fine. Completely different sound other than the A ending

They are lovely together.

I think that's lovely

Absolutely gorgeous!

I would say no but that's because I really don't like Ada rather than because they're too similar.

It's yet another Granny name but not a pretty one like others that have come back into fashion.

It's probably my age but as soon as I read Ada, I automatically thought of Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough.

They sound lovely together
Good choice

Agree with pp that Cora and Ada are fine together - similar short, sweet, retro style actually (albeit more popular in Ada’s case), so they make a nice sibset imo.

I can’t see why having the same ending sound matters - I know lots of families that have kids with names all ending in the trendier “ee” sound, so “ah” shouldn’t be any different imo.

Aw Cora is my babies name and Ada was another name we considered. I love them both so much! Go for it :)

Lovely names but I think they are too similar.

Cora and Dorothy
Cora and Lydia
Cora and Pearl
Cora and Marnie
Cora and Sadie

Aww yeah they’re lovely together. But I am biased as I have a baby Ada too! I think together they sound really classic and suit any age.

Both lovely names and go well together

Love Ada 🩷

Not too similar at all.

Cora and Nora would be, but Cora and Ada are fine together.

They're nice together and match each other for vintage quality.

Would you consider Cora and -
Mabel
Hazel
Daphne
Alice
Vita

I think they are too similar its the a sound at the end thats said similar. I say that as a mum who has 2 dd that has by looks very different names but in reality ending is so similar they often misshear.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Mabel: we know one already
Hazel: not a fan
Daphne: lovely but DH is not keen
Alice: one in the family already
Vita: probably a bit too unusual for us

Thanks this is what DH is worried about I think. Also he already mixes up our names and worries Ada will cause more confusion!

Cora is a nice name. Ada is dire. Pearl. Iris. Just not Ada. It's an ugly granny name.

Both lovely names and go nicely together, not too similar at all

I don't like Ada with Cora but, more importantly, your DH also does not.

Other suggestions..

I don't like Ada with Cora but, more importantly, your DH also does not.
They're of the same vibe but sound a bit samey. I like the Ada Lovelace association but I also thought Cissie and Ada.

I'd pick something stronger sounding.
