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.
