HelpRe: Coral
in reply to a message by Canielle
I have mixed feelings about it because...
1. It puts me in mind of endangered species + jewelry, kind of like Ivory does.
2. The *r-l sound feels a bit awkward to me (same as it does in Laurel). Maybe I'd get over that if I knew one, maybe not.
3. It's an animal but most people seem to equate it with plants which...maybe that's mysterious and appealing, but maybe it's weird and superficial.
4. I really like all the variants and Cor* in general: Coralie, Coraline, Koralia, Cora, Coretta...
5. Color names can be fun. Though then it'd be like Amber or Ruby, and I dislike Amber.
6. I can't confidently say I'd like having to tell people I'm Coral.
7. It reminds me a bit of Opal and Beryl which makes it seem vintage. I've started to think of Opal as potentially cute but not Beryl.
8. I would like to meet a Coral.
