Cora or Lily

Hi, I’m due shortly and having a really hard time choosing a name for my 2nd daughter.

We almost went with Lily the first time but went with Sophie. Now Lily of course is back on the table but I also love the simplicity of Cora!

Can you help me fall in love with one of the names??

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] is so sweet! Such a lyrical sound and the flower connection is great. And I love [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] as sister names.

I much prefer [name_f]Cora[/name_f], both in general and with big sister [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]! I love that their names wouldn’t end in the same sound if baby’s name were to be [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. :relaxed:

Another vote for [name_f]Cora[/name_f] :heart:

[name_f]Cora[/name_f] is lovely! It’s so elegant, simple, and old-fashioned (in a very good way)! It also sounds intelligent to me.

[name_f]Coralie[/name_f]! No no, I don’t actually think you need to add a third name to the mix (though if you like it…). Both [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] are beautiful on their own and with [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]. I lean a bit towards [name_f]Cora[/name_f], but I don’t think you can go wrong. Is the middle name decided yet? [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is so pretty!

I much prefer Lily and think it goes very well with sister Sophie!

This is so hard because I actually love both! I don’t think you can go wrong either way. But since [name_f]Lily[/name_f] was your original love do you think any part of you would regret not using it? And do you have a middle name yet? I think [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Cora[/name_f] both sound great. You could even double barrel it honestly!

i love cora! its so sweet, and i love how it sounds with sophie. it’s just soft, but sleek!

Cora!!

Maybe you could do a middle ground like [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]?
It’s pronounced CORA-lee , so you could have the love of [name_f]Cora[/name_f] but the ‘L’ sound that [name_f]Lily[/name_f] has.
But I think that [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is more unique than [name_f]Lily[/name_f], since there are a lot of Lily’s

Cora!! It’s very lovely with [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]! They are both common, but not like there are three in all her classes. It’s spunky and sleek! :bouquet:

i honestly adore both names but i think i like lily and sophie as sisters more! : )

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] is gorgeous, it’s one of my favourite girls’ names. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is also beautiful and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] go wonderfully together. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] means ‘purity of heart’ in floriography and is also a beautiful flower. [name_f]My[/name_f] first association apart from the flower is of the strong and lovely heroine [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]. So many reasons to go for [name_f]Lily[/name_f] it is a beautiful name, and despite it’s supposed popularity, I very rarely actually meet anyone called [name_f]Lily[/name_f] (and I work in primary schools).

[name_f]Cora[/name_f] is nice, but I believe it means maiden which doesn’t wow me on meaning. [name_f]My[/name_f] first association is with [name_f]Cora[/name_f] the somewhat evil [name_f]Queen[/name_f] of Hearts in the tv show Once Upon a Time.

If you wanted a name in between there is always [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]

We are considering [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]! And we don’t think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Cora[/name_f] works as well

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] of course is pretty but there are a lot more out there in the seas of [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], [name_f]Lilah[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], etc

Generally I prefer [name_f]Cora[/name_f] to [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. But given you have a [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], I have to admit [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] seems like a perfect pairing. Maybe [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Coraline[/name_f]?
