She is also the first known descendant among those enslaved at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello estate to graduate from college. Cook, along with Mary Church Terrell, Anna J. Cooper, Angelina Weld Grimke, and Nannie Helen Burroughs, "exemplified the third generation of African American woman suffragists who related to both the Black and the white worlds."
This is the name of one of the characters in Agatha Christie's novel "After the Funeral" ("Funerals are Fatal")

I personally really like this name. One of my best friends is named this. The only difference is she spells it Coralee.
I am from Canada and my name is Coralie- I love my name and have lost count of the times I am complimented on it. I have no idea where my parents came up with it as the rest of my 12 siblings have very common names. Probably every 3rd time I introduce myself someone says what a beautiful name!

Coralie Clément is a French singer. Clément was born into a family of musicians, her father a clarinetist, and studied the violin from the age of six but later quit. Her brother, Benjamin Biolay, also a singer, has written for Henri Salvador and wrote and produced her own debut, as well as its follow-up. Among her claimed inspirations are Françoise Hardy, Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg. She recorded her first album while studying history at university.
This is quite pretty, though I prefer just "Cora." It's also uncommon, mature and intelligent sounding, and could work well for any type of female. Definitely a good name.
I knew a Coralie growing up and I have never forgotten because it is a name you remember. I think, however, it may be cuter as Cora Lee. Or maybe Coral Lee.
In Greece there is a name Koralia (Κοραλία in the Greek alphabet, also transliterated as Coralia). For example a famous bearer is the actress Koralia Karanti. I cannot vouch for the veracity of this, but from a Google search there seems to be an obscure saint in the Orthodox church named Koralia. According to the Oxford Dictionary, the English word "coral" ultimately derives from the Ancient Greek "korallion", which is probably the etymology for Koralia as well. Coralie is likely related to Koralia. [noted -ed]

When I'm bored, I write stories, and one day I came across the name Coralie and liked it. It's a blend of Coral and Rosalie. It's a pretty, elegant name, and I have really grown fond of it.
This name is also used in The Netherlands (I used to have a classmate with this name when I was in secondary school many years ago).The Dutch pronunciation for Coralie can be ko-rah-LEE and KO-rah-lee, depending on where in the country you are.
Just like 'Cora', Coralie sounds like a cheap and tacky name. I cannot imagine a fiery, intelligent woman being called Coralie. 'Coralie' is better suited for a washed-up country singer.
It's cool and very pretty, but I have difficulty thinking of this as a real, full-fledged name on a person. It doesn't connect right even though I want it to.
I think that Coral (like the word) is a bit too much for a person to be named. Coralie, however, does not seem so to me. I would definitely choose Coralie over Coral. Also, it makes me think of "cor", which means heart (which I think is a wonderful meaning of a name). Why is it that so many French girls' names sound more elegant than their English counterparts?
This is a beautiful and sophisticated name. It sounds like a name for a gorgeous young woman with long, slightly wavy, naturally red hair, pale skin, red and full lips, green eyes, and an hourglass figure. Quite dreamy.
