We have about 7 weeks to go until our LO gets here. The first name I chose when I first found out I was pregnant was [name_f]Cora[/name_f], but since then I have gone back and forth with countless other names. I thought I had her final named picked out as being [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] (our last name starts with C and has 2 syllables), but I have recently been having dreams that I am singing to her, calling her [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. I’ve also come to the realization that saying [name_f]Cora[/name_f] feels the most natural to me so I’m 99.9% that will be her name. Additionally, we are pretty set on the middle name being [name_f]Lenore[/name_f], as my husband is a huge fan of [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Allen[/name_m] [name_u]Poe[/name_u]. I love both names separately, but I am a little concerned that the name [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] rhymes too much. Thoughts?
I agree that it rhymes too much. [name_m]Cor[/name_m]-[name_f]Nor[/name_f] stands out a lot to me.
I agree. I absolutely love both [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_f]Lenore[/name_f], but I think they sound too similar to make an ideal combo. If those are the names you love though, go with it anyway! Why not consider another middle name to honor Edger [name_m]Allen[/name_m] [name_u]Poe[/name_u]?
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] (I love this one)
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Poe[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Raven[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f]
In my opinion [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] does sound rhymey…Perhaps. Corraline with the nick name as [name_f]Cora[/name_f] to cut down on the “rhymeyness?” Corraline [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] vs. Coa [name_f]Lenore[/name_f]… With that being said I do like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] as well…it’s very pretty.
