Name Battle...Help!

Both are lovely. I suggest deciding when you see her

I think [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f] flows better with your surname but I prefer the name [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u] 100%…so I see your dilemma. Sorry that wasn’t at all helpful! :joy:

Cora [name_u]Brooke[/name_u] is lovely -definitely my fave

I think [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f] flows better with your surname :slight_smile:

I actually think [name_f]Cora[/name_f] flows better with your last name :sweat_smile: I also prefer [name_u]Brooke[/name_u] to [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f], so my vote is for [name_f]Cora[/name_f]!

Thank you for all the feedback! We love them both, but as many of you suggested, “[name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]” is kind of abrupt and choppy. But we do adore the name [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f] together!

And thank you for many of you suggesting “[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f]”! Now we’re considering that over [name_u]Brooke[/name_u]. :laughing: I don’t know about FN and MN both ending in “a” though?

If you are worried about the [name_m]Cor[/name_m]A [name_m]Aleksandr[/name_m]A thing, maybe [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Aleksis[/name_f]/Alexis? [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Aleksis[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] is really pretty and still has the first sounds of [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f]. Or [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f]? I really like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] with [name_u]Gray[/name_u], though I love [name_f]Paige[/name_f].

Definitely [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. Prefer the name and much prefer it with your last name.

I prefer [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is so charming, and I love her vintage vibes! (I do love seeing [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f], though!)

Congrats!

Cora Brooke is my favourite. Cora is such a sweet vintage name & I think Brooke is a cool little middle name. Great choice.

I do love Aleksandra though :blush:

I like [name_f]Cora[/name_f]

Paige [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f]! [name_f]Cora[/name_f] just does not appeal to me at all, and [name_u]Brooke[/name_u] seems to conflict with it because [name_f]Cora[/name_f] reminds me of [name_f]Coral[/name_f] which is oceanic while [name_u]Brooke[/name_u] reminds me of freshwater.

Paige is just one of those perpetually perfect names! [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f] is an amazing complement to it. [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] is amazing!

Hi there.

I really prefer [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. It’s a great balance of smart, soft yet not too soft, vintage, simple & grows up well. [name_f]Paige[/name_f] doesn’t do much for me personally. It sounds a bit bland, & a little modern. Plus, [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] is kind of rhyme-y & choppy. I don’t mind the mn [name_u]Brooke[/name_u], but [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f] sounds lovely & more interesting. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought!

Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

Cora [name_u]Brooke[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] is GORGEOUS!

Paige [name_u]Gray[/name_u] sounds a little dull and doesn’t flow.

Cora!

Cora!!!

First of all, welcome to Nameberry!

Both the names you have chosen are beautiful and I honestly think you can’t go wrong! [name_m]Just[/name_m] reading them, I like them equally, but when I put with your last name, I like the sound of [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] over [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]. The g from [name_f]Paige[/name_f] sort of runs into [name_u]Gray[/name_u], and they sound sort of choppy since they’re both one syllable.

I wonder if [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] is too short? Like would the name sound better with a longer middle name? [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] seems practically perfect, besides the plethora of As.

What about [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]?

Or…
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Madison[/name_u] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Victoire[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]

I think you get the idea of what I’m getting at about a longer middle name! Whatever way you go, I’m sure you’ll make a great choice!

Definitely [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Brook[/name_u]. [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] is way too wordy and doesn’t create a great image. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] has a lot of energy and verve.

I prefer [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u], but [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Aleksandra[/name_f] would be my top favorite.

Cora [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] sounds perfect to me
