I love it. I don't care about the children's book at all. I just like the way it looks and signs and that its a combo or Cora and Coraline.

I love both the book and the film, it's a nice name and I like how it has Cora as a potential nickname.

I like it. Caroline is better, but I like it.

Love it, and have loved it for years. It used to be a long-stay in my top 10.

It sounds like a product. Something made out of coral, or looking like coral perhaps.I don't like Coral as a name either. Prefer Carol, dated though it is. (And I named my daughter Caroline.) But, I do like Coralie very much; almost enough to use. Not sure why!

I like it, more striking and vibrant than her counterpart Caroline. For a long while it was a short list name idea in my teens. Back then the NN idea was Cori/Kori since it looked slightly more feminine than Corey though in the present I definitely prefer Cora.

I like just plain Coral, so much brighter! Coraline is cute in a storybook kind of way, but it also seems a bit infantile. I can't imagine any ordinary or "respectable" adult being named Coraline. It's like a manic pixie dream girl name. But that's because for me the strongest association is that Neil Gaiman movie of the same name, so it has the same sort of fuzzy pop culture energy as Wednesday or Caspian.
