Looking for a strong yet short middle name for Cora.
Any suggestions? We like "southern" sounding combos but aren't tied to that. It also could be more masculine/unisex since Cora is pretty feminine.
-
Mae
-
Cora Lynn
Cora Grace
Cora Lee/Leigh/Lea (sounds like Coralie...could be a good thing or a bad thing) -
2nd Mae.
A girlfriend's daughter is Cora Mae. -
Cora Jane
-
Cora Paige
Cora June
Cora Rose
Cora Beth (eta: fwiw, this is my personal fave)Cora Avery
Cora Grey
Cora Everett
Cora Quinn
Cora Shane -
I agree with Mae! It's our DD's middle name, and she was almost Cora.
-
Cora Dove
Cora Quinn
Cora Jo
Cora Belle
Cora Maeve
Cora Faye -
Cora Jane
-
The first name I thought of was Jane!
eta: my daughter's middle name is Mae and I think that "southerns up" any name!
-
Cora Beth has a nice Southern sound to it
-
Cora Lynn is what I thought of.
-
Lee, Mae, Jane - all solid southern middles.
Lou is the other strong southern middle, but I'm not sure I love it with Cora.
-
Cora Jean/Jeanne?
LO2 is Coraline Lily and we call her Cora but Jeanne was a consideration before we decided to go with a longer name.

Southern names
Cora Lou
Cora Grace
Cora Belle
Cora Rose
Cora Leigh -
Cora Jane
Cora James
Cora Mae
Cora Jeanne -
My DD's name sounds similar to Cora and her middle name is Grace!
-
Thanks everyone!
Jane is DD1 MN so that is pretty much out. Lynn is a family name for my sister so I dont want to use it.
Right now I'm liking:
Cora Jean/Jeanne
Cora Leigh
Cora Louise/Lou (even though DH vetoed already)
Cora Marie (again DH has something odd again marie)Cora Mae
Cora Grace as also very sweet.We have a Frances the family and for some reason I like Cora Frances. Probably more formal than what we would go with, but still strong
-
Cora Madeline
Cora Evelyn -
@T.H.O.U.: I love Cora Frances!
and Cora Leigh -
I love Cora Grace!
-
Cora June - This is my favorite. I can't decide whether I like how close it is to D's middle, but if Jeanne is on the table, I vote this one.
Cora Pearl
Cora Claire
Cora DoveI do think Cora Mae and Cora Leigh sound like solid southern doubles, if that's what you're going for, and Cora Frances is lovely. There's a Frances boom in my social circle lately!
-
Cora Lynn is the first that came to mind.
Also like Grace, Ruth, Evelyn
-
Lou/Louise would be my vote!!
-
Cora Leigh
Cora Grace -
I have a Cora Marie.
Marie was my middle name before I legally changed my middle name to my maiden name.
We sometimes refer to her as Cora Belle and daycare was calling her Cora Mae before they knew what her middle was.
Edited to add: My oldest has Jane as her middle.
-
My first thought when I saw this thread was
Cora Elizabeth
-
Cora Mae
Cora Grace
Cora Caroline
Cora Lynne
Cora Suzanne
Cora Susan -
Lee/Leigh (I prefer the more gender-neutral Lee as a middle name)
-
Lynn came to mind first.
Bell
Grace -
Mae came to mind first, but I also like
Cora Kate
Cora Jane
Cora Anne
Cora Quinn -
DD is Cora Belle. It was the only middle name my husband and I could agree on - we both love it.
-
Cora Lou was the first name that came to mind
and then Cora Sue, Cora Leigh and Cora May
-
Cora Lynn is family name of mine
-
We just had friends have a Cora Perry which I think is a fun combo
-
Cora Rae
