[name]Dana[/name] (hubby mentioned this, I can’t decide what I think): I guess that [name]Dana[/name] feels like a girls’ name to me, and that it’s very dated. I actually know a male [name]Dana[/name] who was always mistaken for a girl, and who hated his name.
Clarkson (only as a middle): I think of [name]Kelly[/name] Clarkson, but in the middle, I think it’s fine…
Carrington (only as a middle): Because of the name’s beginning and romantic feel, Carrington feels quite feminine to me.
[name]Linnea[/name] ([name]How[/name] do you pronounce it? Any cute nn ideas?): I know a [name]Linnea[/name] who pronounces her name lin-NAY-uh. I think it’s a very pretty name…
[name]Antoinette[/name] (family name - maybe nn [name]Annie[/name]???): I do first think of [name]Marie[/name], but I think it’s a gorgeous name.
[name]Jocelyn[/name]: I think it’s pretty, but quite popular…
[name]Coralie[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name] nn’s [name]Cora[/name]/[name]Cori[/name]!): I think this is beautiful! [name]Do[/name] you like [name]Cordelia[/name] or [name]Corinna[/name]?
[name]Coraline[/name] (too close to [name]Caroline[/name]?): I think it’s pretty, but I would personally be concerned about it being confused with [name]Caroline[/name]. I can see it as a middle, though!
[name]Corinna[/name] (cor-inn-a): Aha! [name]Corinna[/name] is here! I think it’s lovely…
[name]Corine[/name] (how do you pronounce this? [name]Cor[/name]-een?): I prefer the [name]Corinne[/name] spelling, and every [name]Corinne[/name] I’ve known (three of them) has pronounced it kuh-RINN. (None of them use the actual “core” sound…)
[name]Jessamine[/name] (pronunciation?): I think this is gorgeous! I personally say [name]JEH[/name]-suh-meen, but I’ve also heard [name]JEH[/name]-suh-minn.
[name]Ruth[/name] (Are there any longer names with this as a nn?): I think it’s a nice name, and I think that [name]Ruthie[/name] is a darling nickname.
[name]Teresa[/name] (ter-ESS-a): I think that pronunciation may be an issue, but I think it’s very pretty. [name]Do[/name] you like [name]Tess[/name] or [name]Tessa[/name]?
[name]Roslin[/name]: I love all [name]Rose[/name] names, but love the “[name]Rose[/name]” sound as opposed to the “[name]Roz[/name]” sound. I’m more used to the [name]Roslyn[/name] spelling, but you may also like [name]Rosaline[/name], [name]Rosalind[/name], [name]Rose[/name], Rosabel, [name]Rosalba[/name], or [name]Rosalie[/name].
[name]Ellen[/name] (family name): [name]Ellen[/name] feels dated to me, but I do love [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Eleanora[/name], and [name]Helena[/name]!
[name]Ora[/name] [name]Leigh[/name] (family name): I only hear “orally,” which I can see being a huge source of teasing starting in middle school. ([name]Even[/name] [name]Ora[/name] on its own makes me think of [name]Oral[/name].)
Names that could honor [name]Ora[/name]:
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Eliora[/name] (could honor [name]Ellen[/name] and [name]Ora[/name])
[name]Leora[/name]
[name]Eleanora[/name]
[name]Leonora[/name]
[name]Honora[/name]
Best wishes to you! 
The name was a very distant realative’s, and I just thought it was kind of cute. Not at all a name that I have my heart set on! Definitely won’t be using that one now!
