Cara, much less old-lady-ish!

Cora. Though it reminds me of the character on "The Waltons", Cora Beth. She was snooty. (Sorry, I grew up watching that show :b) But I have always dislike Cara and Kara. Not sure why. It just seems like one of those 1980s names to me, that's WAY over by now, I guess. At least Cora is fresh and was out of date for a long time, but I think it's one of those that's coming back. Either way, I still like Cora better. :)

Cora. It's so pretty and feminine. I find Cara very harsing sounding.

Well, the name Cora derives from the ancient Greek name 'Kora' which means ‘young girl’, ‘daughter’, the name was used also as the collective name for the Nymphs, daughters of Zeus. I prefer it to Cara, which means 'head' in ancient Greek. :)

I like Cara better (rhymes with Sara) than Cora, just because of associations I have with the names. My grandmother used to take care of an old ailing woman named Cora but I have a cousin named Cara. Cora is a pretty name though.
