Cora during Coronavirus

[emmabq]

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and my husband and I had previously (in late December) settled on the name 'Cora' for our baby.

Then the world changed.

Is it a bad idea to name a baby Cora during Coronavirus?

We have alternative names we like - but I'm wondering if I'd just constantly regret not calling her Cora.

What would you do?

Why does Cora have anything to do with Coronavirus? I’m confused.

I love the name Cora... like downton abbey 👍💙

I dont see why you should change your choice. In years to come it can be a funny story and let's face it, once this is all over who is even going to make the slightly tenuous connection.

I wouldn't link the 2 together.

It's more that I was worried that they sounded similar - or that the name would be connected with coronavirus in the future.

It's music to my ears that people wouldn't make the connection!

I know a beautiful baby Cora. It's a lovely name OP, I would never have connected the 2

Unless your last name is 'Virus' I think you're okay!

Cora is a nice name!

I heard of some twins in India that were named covid and corona!

A friend had a little girl called Isis! Long before IS was a thing.
She has changed her name now

Go for it, it’s beautiful. And the way you pronounce it is different to corona I think. I wouldn’t make any link.

As long as you don't have Navirus as a middle name, you're fine.

My friends 6 month old is cora its beautiful and not associated with corona aoart from the letters. No one will link the two.

It's not that similar to coronavirus, it's not even pronounced the same. I think you're overthinking it a bit - I would never have made the association myself. It's such a lovely name, use it 😊

I'm a Cora, can't see where people would link the two... No one has said anything to me :)
