I am a teen berry who loves researching names, so this isn’t pressing. I would like to receive your opinions on whether these names feel British of American:
Cora
[name_u]Everly[/name_u]
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] feels very American to me. It’s a lot more popular in the US than the UK. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] could be either but is leaning American to me
Everly definitely sounds American to me.
As an American, I feel like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] leans British, but I have no idea if naming data would back up that assumption.

I see a lot of vintage chic names as British because they regained popularity in [name_u]Britain[/name_u] first (at least that’s what it seems). [name_u]Everly[/name_u] is new and trendy so I see it as more American feeling, but [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is vintage so it feels British to me. I know nothing about [name_f]Cora[/name_f]’s popularity in [name_u]Britain[/name_u] though, it just gives me that vibe.
Everly is very American. I’ve never heard of a British person with that name.
Cora could be either, but it was an American novel that established it as a given name and made it popular in the first place.

I’m in agreement with previous posters.
Everly feels undoubtedly American.
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] is a tricky one.
The most recent [name_f]Cora[/name_f] I’ve encountered has been very American, so that’s in my mind. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] from Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] was an American too, but I know a few (I’m [name_f]English[/name_f]), so it can’t be that skewed. I’d say [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is a pretty even split.

Everly is totally American, [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is 50/50 imo.
Both feel American to me
Cora feels very British to me us Brits love a vintage name, we love names that are short and it has this sweet nickname vibe despite not really being a nickname if that make sense. I’ve met a few baby [name_f]Cora[/name_f]’s!
Everly feels American to me I haven’t met any [name_u]Everly[/name_u]’s so I think this name is popular in the states but probably will catch on with the surname trend that seems to becoming popular.
Cora to me sounds more British. But [name_u]Everly[/name_u] seems more modern and trendy, so it sounds more American to me.
Both feel very American to me. This is coming from someone who lives in [name_u]America[/name_u] if that makes a difference.
Both sound very American to me
With only my personal impressions, not data, [name_u]Everly[/name_u] seems more American and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] seems slightly more British.
Everly feels more American, whereas [name_f]Cora[/name_f] feels more British to me - an American 
Both feel more American to me but [name_u]Everly[/name_u] more so

From what I understand (not being British myself) but [name_u]Britain[/name_u] doesn’t tend to favor surnames as first names especially on girls. So I’d say [name_u]Everly[/name_u] is definitely American. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is more popular in the US at the moment (71 compared to [name_f]England[/name_f]’s 158) however it has more history of usage so personally I wouldn’t classify it as American or British.
Both lean American to me, because of current popularity.
Cora sounds American south to me. [name_u]Everly[/name_u] is a trendy newish name I think. [name_m]Ive[/name_m] never heard of one irl. I live in the US.
As an Australian, I see [name_u]Everly[/name_u] as American. As others have said, [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is a trickier one - but just my gut feel is that it is also more American.
Cora feels both and [name_u]Everly[/name_u] feels all American.
