Dora
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like Dora a lot - it's one of the few diminutives that stands up by itself imo, is fresher than Dorothy and not so consciously trendy as Theodora.
I can't bear Cora, it's pronounced exactly the same as 'corer' here and I can't separate the two in my mind.
Nora/h to me is a terribly ugly and old-fashioned name, of the same vintage of Ethel, Edna, Beryl etc and I'm amazed it's having such a comeback. Not my cup of tea at all
