1- (or 3-syllable) MN for Cora

We’re settled on [name_f]Cora[/name_f] for a FN but still struggling a little with the MN. The current favorite is “[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]”, which I do think will be lovely if we choose it. I don’t think I care that there’s the repeating “R” sound but I’d love to figure out another short MN option that 1) isn’t as popular as [name_f]Rose[/name_f] for a MN and 2) sounds a little “lighter” if that makes sense. [name_m]Both[/name_m] [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] sound a little heavy to me - no?

Also, because [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is sort of in the vintage-y style, I’d love if we could pair it with something not as vintage as [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I liked the nature-y feel of [name_f]Rose[/name_f], especially because she’ll be due in the spring but that’s not a deal-breaker.

Our LN has 2 syllables so I’m trying to stay away from a 2-syllable MN. 3-syllable suggestions work too!

Any ideas?

I think [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a great option!!!

I’ll leave the 3-syllables to others. Good luck :slight_smile:

[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] <- my pick!

I also like mns Brynn (though I prefer it with one N, Bryn) and Lillian from above.

Have you thought of maybe using Cordelia as the fn, nn Cora? Cordelia Rose sounds beautiful, and breaks up the “R” sounds a little bit.
