Cora?

Girl Names

I adore the name [name_f]Cora[/name_f], every time I rewatch Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] I fall back in love with it. Is it too outdated? What middle names and sibling names would you put with it? I love [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] with it but are they too far apart in popularity? I love names that have nickname possibilities so I’m not sure about [name_f]Cora[/name_f]

Other names I love at the moment:

[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u]
[name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]

[name_f]Cora[/name_f] is so lovely! I don’t think it’s dated at all, but if you have any doubts you could go with a longer name like [name_f]Corina[/name_f] and have the nickname [name_f]Cora[/name_f].

Ideas for siblings:
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_u]Willow[/name_u], [name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

[name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Elio[/name_m], [name_m]Leon[/name_m], [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], [name_u]Micah[/name_u], [name_m]Felix[/name_m]

[name_f]Cora[/name_f] is relatively popular in the US. In the top 100 since 2015. It did have a dip in popularity but Id say its a revived classic. [name_u]Coco[/name_u] and Corrie/Cor are nn options.

I definitely wouldn’t say [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is outdated, especially since it’s super trendy right now. We considered [name_f]Cora[/name_f] if our baby was a girl and we would’ve used the middle name [name_u]Blair[/name_u] with it. I also don’t think [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is too different in popularity. [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is currently #9, but [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is also only #88. It’s still within the top 100 and I think they have a similar vibe to them.

[name_f]Cora[/name_f] is gorgeous - sharp but sweet! Nicknames could be [name_u]Coco[/name_u], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_f]Corie[/name_f] or [name_f]Cece[/name_f]. I think [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] works as a sister, as do all your other names!!

Some middle name ideas:

[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]

I love [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] with the nn [name_f]Cora[/name_f]! I also think [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is great! It’s been rising in popularity in recent years. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] ages nicely and it isn’t overly feminine, it is a very versatile name in my opinion.

You could always name her [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] then she will have the choice of going by [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f], etc…
