We already have a daughter named [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] and recently found out our second baby is also a girl. We are having trouble on agreeing on names we both like, but one we agree on so far is [name_f]Keira[/name_f]. Is that too close to [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], or especially [name_f]Cora[/name_f]? We always call our daughter by her full name, but I wonder if that might change as she gets older.
We also both like [name_f]Aria[/name_f]. But that name is trending very strongly right now, isn’t it? I would like to avoid those types of names.
Any other suggestions? We both like relatively unique names, but my husband doesn’t like place, month, or thing names.
[name_f]Keira[/name_f] has the same vibe as [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] -something familiar but mysterious - and i feel like you could get away with it, but it is quite close
Yeah I see your point about [name_f]Keira[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] being similar! It might bother you later if she uses that nn.
I like [name_f]Aria[/name_f] with [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] but it does seem a little ho-hum now.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Coraline[/name_f]! [name_f]Keira[/name_f] is a little close to [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], & especially [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. [name_f]Aria[/name_f] is absolutely trendy.
Other suggestions:
[name_f]Adelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Delia[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]-okay, that’s kind of a thing name, but so cute!
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]-kind of common, although it doesn’t seem like it.
[name_f]Keira[/name_f] and [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] are too close in sound, in my opinion… especially if she goes by [name_f]Cora[/name_f] as she gets older. I do like [name_f]Aria[/name_f]. I think you’re thinking it’s trending a lot right now because it’s on a lot of people’s radar, but I’m not sure that many people are actually using it. You could always choose a longer name that lends itself to the nickname [name_f]Aria[/name_f] for more options…
It was helpful to confirm what my instinct was about [name_f]Keira[/name_f] and [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] or [name_f]Cora[/name_f] being too close.
We are now also considering [name_f]Arielle[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]. I also [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] as well as [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] but our last name ends with a y so sadly those are out. And I love some of the other suggestions you all gave. [name_f]Raina[/name_f] is particularly gorgeous to me, but my husband isn’t a fan, unfortunately. If it helps, I think we will be using [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (a family name) as her middle, so will have to consider that too. Thanks again.
I love the idea of [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] with [name_f]Coraline[/name_f]! Are you sure a y-ending last name rules it out? I definitely think it could still work.
