HelpRe: Cora / Kiara
in reply to a message by Kelly
It doesn't seem very nice to make the kid change her name over this. I'd stick it out. Your little ones won't be hard to understand forever.

I agree
The child seems much too old to change her name now. I have four kids, and I can't imagine changing one's name at that age. In fact I remember being that age, even though it's been quite a while, and I can't imagine having my name changed. I am who I am, and I always have been, and I always will be.

Agreed.
Four is awfully old to be changing a kid's name. My mother's name was changed when she was only two and a half, and it was hard enough then. She remembers it as being a very confusing time. I think changing Cora's name would be confusing for her and for your other children. What if you left her name as Cora and called her Cori? Or you could expand CoCo to Coconut to get diminish it's similarity to JoJo. If you feel you must change Cora, I'd go with Coral. The extra l sound should take care of the similarity with Kiara, and it's much more similar to her original name than Tori is, imo.
Of course, all of this is just my opinion, and you know your children so the final decision is up to you and I'm sure you'll make one that's right for them!
Edited to add you could also change it to Corinne, if you decided to change it.
