Middle name for Cora?

[elsamayy]

Hi all, DP and I are starting to think about baby names as we TTC. Exciting time!

For a girl, we are set on Cora. We'd like a short middle name that flows well with Cora. To give some context, we live in a German-speaking country, and the baby will get both surnames, one Italian and one Scottish. Therefore, name length and pronunciability are important factors.

A few ideas for now are: Cora Mae, Cora Louise, Cora June.

Any other ideas? Thanks!!

Nappel?

June might not sound right said by German-speakers. Mae is not great. Mai might be better.

Cora Melody.
Cora Jasmine.
Cora Daisy.
Cora Zoe.
Cora Madeleine.
Cora Belle.
Cora Naomi.
Cora Willow.
Cora Beth.
Cora Faye

Cora Jane
Cora Nell
Cora Neve
Cora Rose
Cora Ruth
Cora Fern
Cora Jo
Cora Joy
Cora May (not Mae)
Cora Lucy

Love Cora Jane and Cora Fern!

Cora Fern would be my favorite I think. It makes me think of Scotland 😊

My first thought before opening the thread was "Cora Jane" so from your list I probably feel that Cora June is my favourite

Ah, Cora was my girl name! I was going to call her Cora Christina

Cora Anna
Cora Hermine
Cora Ilse
Cora Eva
Cora Sabine
Cora Emily

Cora Flora 🌸

Also, for what it’s worth (regarding pronunciation) , middle names come up so rarely. I gave my daughter a very meaningful middle name that I was so happy for her to have and… it literally never comes up! I should have given it as a first!

Cora Jean
Cora Mary
Cora Elspeth

Cora Jane
Cora Ruth
Cora Leigh
Cora Joy

Ruth sounds different in many other languages.

Lots of choice suggestions on here OP.
When I saw your subject title, my first thought was Cora Louise, so that would be my pick from yours and your DH's choices!

All the best to you both; yes, a very exciting time!

Cora Eloise
cora pearl
cora juliet
cora beatrice
cora sophie
cora daphne
cora juniper
cora lily
cora daisy
cora violet

I think Cora Mae is perfect

Louise

Cora dora laura

Cora Alice

Cora Anne immediately came to kind before I read you wanted a short middle name.

Quite like Cora Anne too!

Personally I would choose anything other than Mae/Rose/Grace as it’s quite literally every girl’s middle name.

True, but consider that we don't live in the UK, so that won't really be an issue here. We are in Switzerland, where the top girl names are Emma, Sophia, Mia, and most people don't give middle names here (but we'd like to!).

@Unhappyitis , Cora Dora Laura Norah Maura?

@elsamayy , we don't live in the UK, so that won't really be an issue here That might change or your DD might live here as an adult.
I'm not a fan of filler middle names like May, Louise, Rose, Anne, Jane and Grace. The names are OK but boring as middle names.

Dora!
