1. Cora
2. Flora
3. Nora

I don’t like Dora, but I like Isadora. Zora is okay, Thora is also okay, and Lora is a no for me.

---

The only reason why Cora goes above Flora is because it doesn’t remind me of Floor. Flora is youthful but it can age well, beautiful, and I like the etymology. Nora I never liked and probably never will. It’s not a bad name or anything though.

Cora
Nora (better as a non for Eleonora)
Flora

---

I think they’re all nice though. Don’t particularly like any of the others, except maybe Zora, which I mostly associate with Zora Neale Hurston.

Cora=Dora>Thora>Nora>Flora>Lora>Zora

Using these spellings:
Dora - It's been a GP for a long time
Flora - Soft, with a nature theme
Nora - It would be #1 if it was spelt "Norah"
Zora - Ok, just NMS
Cora - It's the middle of an apple
Lora - "Lawyer up!"
Thora - Dora with a speech impediment

1. Nora(h)

---

2. Cora

---

3. Flora

---

I like Nora(h) best because I prefer the N sound over the C or the Fl. Cora is a close second, but it's not as soft and warm and Nora(h). Flora is okay, but not a favorite.

---

I like Zora and Thora. Don't have much to say about them, really.

1. Thora
2. Cora
3. Dora
4. Nora
5. Flora
6. Lora
7. Zora

1. Zora
2. Cora
3. Dora
4. Thora, Nora
5. Flora, Lora

---

Flora is last because I'd probably think it was cute in a BA but feel I would dislike being named it; Lora is last because it'd be really boring to see, but I wouldn't mind being named it. Thora and Nora I'm pretty neutral on in either scenario. Zora, Cora, and Dora are ones I'd moderately like in either scenario.

---

Zora reminds me of names like Zoe, Aurora, Zelda, Zara, Zoraida.

---

Cora reminds me of names like Cara, Vera, Kore, Cori, Corinne, Corazon.

---

Dora reminds me of names like Dorothy, Dorothea, Pandora, Isidora, Doriane, Doreen.

---

Nora reminds me of names like Sara, Nelly, Honora, Susan, Hannah.

---

Thora reminds me of names like Thisbe, Thea, Velma, Tova, Tara, Tori.

---

Lora reminds me of names like Laura, Lori, Lorena, Melora, Delora, Lisa, Jordan.

#1: Thora
#2: Nora
#3: Flora
#4: Zora
#5: Lora
#6: Dora
#7: Cora

I don't like Cora because it sounds like an apple core or coroner. I have a bad association with Nora. Flora is okay and the best of those three, but seems a little like an old lady. Dora - too much like door, makes me think explorer and my great-aunt, who was nice, but makes this dated. Zora is okay. I think it might be becoming a little trendy. I kind of like Thora because of Thora Birch. Lora would just be confused for Laura or Lara. Overall, not a big fan of this ending.

---

Favorite to least:
Flora
Thora
Zora
Dora
Nora
Cora
Lora

Nora ( I prefer the Norah spelling though)
Cora (pretty name. Very underrated)
Flora ( I don’t care for this name at all)

---

My ranking:
Nora
Cora
Lora
Thora
Zora
Dora
Flora

I really enjoy all three! Nora is my favorite and it is quite hard for me to decide what my second favorite is. Today I think my ranking would be:
Nora
Cora
Flora

---

Tomorrow I could end up preferring Flora to Cora.

---

As for the others, none of them appeal to me quite as much as the first three. I like Zora and Lora ok, and I don't dislike Thora. I'm not a fan of Dora.

In order of preference: Nora, Flora and Cora.

---

I love Florence, so probably I'd feel more positive about Flora if only the margarine wasn't a factor. But it is. Cora sounds like the cry of a crow. Nora is pleasantly vintage, and much better than Ellie or Nellie as a nn for Elinor etc.

---

I positively dislike Zora and Thora; they sound unattractive to me. Laura would have been my first choice for a daughter if I hadn't committed (happily!) to Beatrice after my mother and grandmother. Not sure if Lora has the same pronunciation: either way, I'd stay with Laura. Dora is OK; my mother knew an elderly lady who was always known as Dora, but it turned out that her actual given name was Deborah! I would have preferred the full form, but anything's better than Debby.

Out of three options:
1. Flora
2. Nora
3. Cora

---

Flora is my favourite here. It's pretty, old-fashioned in a good sense, and elegant.
Nora, Thora - these are sharp and simple, yet they can easily caught your attention, especially Thora.
Cora - I like it a little better than Lora, Zora & Dora.

---

So,
1. Flora
2. Thora
3. Nora
4. Cora
5. Lora
6. Zora
7. Dora

Cora is the only one I really like. Flora & Lora are okay.

From Favorite to Least Favorite:

---

Cora
Flora
Lora
Zora
Thora
Nora
Dora

Flora
Nora
Zora
Cora
Lora
Dora
Thora

Flora > Cora > Nora.

---

I've liked Flora for a very long time, and switch between preferring it and Florence. I like the meaning, and it sounds peaceful, pleasant, and clement.

---

I don't prefer any of the other names you listed to Flora.

---

From most to least favourite:

---

Flora
Cora: perhaps not dramatic as my beloved Persephone, but certainly more usable. The sound reminds me of the French cœur (heart) as well.
Zora: lovely sound and meaning. Bonus points for being Slavic.
Nora: I prefer both Eleanor and Honora to Nora.
Thora: rather clumsy and unattractive, but I much prefer it on a girl to Thor on a boy.
Dora: I prefer Dorothy, Theodora, or Isidora.
Lora: reminds me of the parrot.
