WDYT of Cora?

BlameItOnTheRain · July 2012

Do you like or dislike?

What type of person comes to mind?

DD#1 is Emmy.

MamaG1231 · July 2012

I think it goes really well with Emmy.

I like Cora, but I couldn't tell you exactly what type of person comes to mind. Maybe a girly, girl?

Zimger · July 2012

I love Cora. Very pretty.

kayjay10 · July 2012

I like Cora. Goes really well with Emmy. I think it's a beautiful, classic and vintage name.

I like it. I think it goes well with Emmy.

Cora is the mom from Downton Abbey. I like it. I like old school names though. I think it works well with Emmy. Although it makes me think of the show getting an Emmy... Maybe I like Downton Abbey too much? Is that possible?

kacelle · July 2012

I picture Cora from Downton Abbey. Lovely name!

runrinserepeat · July 2012

I like Cora, and I agree that it goes well with Emmy. It seems like more of a girly-girl name to me, instead of a tom-boy name.

aascaha · July 2012

I really dislike this name even though its the name of one of my favorite restaurants.

Clarissad23 · July 2012

I love the name, but a close friend named her daughter that

.

My girl name pick is Cora also! I'm having issues thinking of a MN if it is a girl...I don't want the normal "fillers."

erniebufflo · July 2012

It's lovely. First thing I think of is the mom on Downton Abbey who is named Cora.

ETA: I see we have many Downton fans around here!

BlameItOnTheRain · July 2012

Oh, I'm so glad everyone thinks it goes well with Emmy. And I wouldn't mind a girly girl this time around - DD is sort of tom boyish.

caramia582 · July 2012

Cora is currently my first choice if we ever have a DD, so obviously I love it. What comes to mind for me is either an older woman or young girl- like many of the popular vintage girl names. And I think it's really nice with Emmy.

ttmccoot · July 2012

i really like it a lot.

jobiann · July 2012

I like Cora but it is very popular in my area right now. Two friends I went to school with name their LO's Cora and I've seen a dozen in birth announcements from our area over the past six months.

Pearl16 · July 2012

DD is Cora Elizabeth (middle name after my grandma), so obviously I love it! I think the name is sweet and a little bit spunky.

Obviously, DD is the first thing I think of when I hear the name, and I may be biased, but she's pretty fantastic

alohamora · July 2012

LOVE Cora. I imagine a proper, polite girl who's a brunette for some reason.

Foster1Mom · July 2012

Love it

My DD is Cora Margaret and this is her exactly--even at 16m she is super dainty and proper about most things. And she happens to be brunette.

OP--obviously I love the name

bridetobe101505 · July 2012

Love it! Emmy and Cora are adorable sibling names!

mamaZbo · July 2012

I have a Coralyn..she is not a girly girl, or dainty in anyway, but it fits her. I love the name. I think it goes well with Emmy

NewlyWeds13 · July 2012

I would not ever personally use it, but it is a fine name.

It is spelled properly, is a real name, and is not made up.

In terms of what I think of when I hear it... I actually don't know anyone named Cora, but several named Corrine or Corine... and I think of them.

Really? That surprises me. I definitely don't want her in a class full of Cora's. I haven't even looked at the rank yet... just assumed it wasn't up there. Hmmmm.
