Dora
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 allhttp://www.behindthename.com/pnl/167578
