Sorry to be so indecisive and always coming back for opinions on new names but we’re just so stuck on a name for our little girl due in [name]November[/name]! My son’s name ([name]Milo[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]) was so easy for us to agree on but we’re having a hard time this time around. I think we are 95% set on [name]Cora[/name] for a first name. We love that [name]Cora[/name] is short, works at any age and isn’t heard that much. I know some people have said that they know 10 little Coras but in my neighborhood I know three Hazels, a [name]Wren[/name], [name]Hattie[/name], [name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name] - but no Coras! (seriously, those are all names just from [name]Milo[/name]'s neighborhood preschool, so it feels like all the names my husband and I would typically like are sooo common here).
Anyway, we’ve moved on to middle names. I always assumed I would use a family name as a middle, but none of them are sounding right with [name]Cora[/name]. Family names under consideration are:
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Maureen[/name]
[name]Lucille[/name]
[name]Shay[/name]
We started thinking of names outside of our family to see if we liked any of those better and we came up with:
[name]Scout[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
What do you all think sounds best from our list above or other suggestions? I feel like [name]Cora[/name] is on the line of being too soft and sweet for us, so we want a spunky and not soft middle but it’s hard to think of!
Thanks in advance for all your help - we’re not sharing our name choice with anyone so nameberry has been a savior for us!
From your choices, I like [name]Cora[/name] [name]Lucille[/name] or [name]Cora[/name] [name]Maureen[/name]. Other options off the top of my head:
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Renae[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Janelle[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Joelle[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Patrice[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Diane[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Elise[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Helene[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Frances[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Maureen[/name] seems to flow well. I also like both [name]Clementine[/name] (cute) and [name]Beatrix[/name] (like the sharper “x” sound at the end).
Thanks for everyone’s advice. I also just thought of [name]Cora[/name] [name]Flannery[/name] - what do you think of that? We’d love to have either a literary middle or the name of a great historical woman, especially a great feminist or civil rights leader but again, hard to think of a name in that category that sounds great with [name]Cora[/name]. Any suggestions welcome!
