[Opinions] Re: Cora, Nora, Flora

1. Zora

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.
Flora reminds me of names like Fauna, Florence, Paula, Hortense, Kristi.
Most give me an impression of being matronly to some degree (which is why I think I'm inclined to say as a group, they generally seem pragmatic or down-to-earth).
Flora seems a little more gregarious, delicate, and dowdy than the others to me; Thora feels similar imo, maybe heavier but also maybe more balanced...
Dora and Nora seem the plainest to me, in a nice way; Lora seems similar but even more nondescript.
Zora and Cora seem the youngest or most vibrant to me. I associate beginnings with them like dawn and springtime. (Whereas I'd say Flora and Thora seem more summery like fruit, floridity, thunderstorms, and Nora has autumn vibes. Lora and Dora are hardest for me to pin down, possibly because they seem the most likely to be NNs, but I'll say they're wintery because Lora seems blank like a snowy field and Dora seems minimalist but also means gift).
