Mary, Cora, or Grace

Which do you prefer? Siblings are in my signature. Thank you!

I prefer [name_f]Cora[/name_f] the best. It sounds great with your other children’s names. [name_f]Mary[/name_f] would be my second choice. Lastly, [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is just too plain compared to [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m].

I personally find all three to be a bit plain, but I think [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] go wonderfully. Then [name_f]Cora[/name_f] (which I really dislike, but it does work) and finally, [name_f]Grace[/name_f].

You could always do [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] as a double-barrel name. It’s worked for me for more than two decades, and it would fit with the other name in the sibset.

I love [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and I think it goes well with siblings’ names.

With a brother named [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is a bit too “[name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], and baby [name_m]Jesus[/name_m]” for me. I really like the suggestion of [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] though!

I like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] the best with [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m].

[name_f]Mary[/name_f]! Or [name_f]Mary[/name_f]-[name_f]Grace[/name_f], so you can use two names at the same time.

I like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] the best with your sibset for sure!

I absolutely adore [name_f]Mary[/name_f]! There is just something so completely special about it. That being said, any of these would go great with sib names!

Not really a fan of [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] together in a sibset (which is kind of hypocritical of me in a way because my grandparents are [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]). I love love [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]Cora[/name_f] with your kiddos, though. [name_f]Grace[/name_f] seems a little plain next to the other names. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] have been on my list for years. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Mary[/name_f] is too close to [name_m]Henry[/name_m] sound wise. [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is dull and shares the same meaning with [name_f]Annie[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and plan on using it as a nickname. [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] sound great!

My favorite is [name_f]Cora[/name_f]–sweet, strong, and vintage. [name_m]Both[/name_m] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] are too plain for my tastes, but [name_f]Grace[/name_f] would be my second choice. Personally I would not have [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] in the same sibset.

I personally love [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. I think it sounds perfect with your other names. [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is classic!

[name_f]Cora[/name_f], then [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. Agreed with [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] being a bit much in a sibling set.

Since you already have a [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] I wouldn’t use [name_f]Mary[/name_f].

I really like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] with [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m].

[name_f]Grace[/name_f] seems a tiny bit dull.

I agree that it would be a little weird to have siblings [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m].
I vote for [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. It feels like it fits the best. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is also very pretty, but much less girly than [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and much less cute than [name_f]Annie[/name_f].

Thank you for all of the great responses! We haven’t found out the gender yet, but hoping to in the coming weeks. All of the names are strong family names for us. I had thought of the [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] connection but wasn’t sure other people would notice it, so thanks for the confirmation that that might not be a great idea. :slight_smile:

I agree with this. [name_f]Grace[/name_f] seems like the right bridge between my daughters’ names. It is my favorite name ever, but I have always shied away due to popularity. Now, I’m not sure I really care about that anymore.

[name_m]Both[/name_m] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] are beautiful!

I like them all but think [name_f]Cora[/name_f] works best - [name_f]Mary[/name_f] & [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] might be a little funny for a sib set!
