I can't seem to fall in love with Corinne. It's a good name and I like to see it, and I think if you want to call your daughter Corey you should name her Corrine and spell it Corrie. It's an iamb so it's a good middle name. But I don't love it.

I do kind of love Joanna though. I tend to like -ana or -anna names well when it's not name+anna. I like Joanna as an elaboration of Joan and Juliana as feminine of Julian. But I don't like Liliana or Mariana, which I regard as name+ana, and therefore superfluous. Yeah. Joanna's great, it's simple and pretty and sensible. Goes well with Laura and Caroline.
