[Opinions] Re: Cora, Nora, Flora
in reply to a message by mirfak
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.
