To review a little more detail, it first appeared in 1880 and was given to more than a thousand babies at that time. At that time, it became popular nationwide and ranked high in the U.S. because of the Government naming industry tracking.
More to the point, Cora was one of the most loved names in America 1880 and it has been competing with famous names like Carrie and Clara. Unfortunately, we cannot see a remarkable rank for Clara as the 20th century began and it used to lose its frequency and popularity.
On the other hand, recently, Cora is turning back to the top of the chart and is taking back its prominence. Indeed, there was another name trend in America that leads parents to choose ancient names for their babies and this caused Cora, the sweet and lovely name, to be a famous name again.

I think the name is absolutely beautiful. I saw it on a movie called "Music and Lyrics". I anticipated spelling my childs name with a K as well because well, I just love the letter K!
My 4 yr old daughter's names is Kora and she gets lots of compliments. I think it looks cute spelled with a "K".
I called my little girl Cora and didn't tell anyone that we had it in mind. everyone loves it and we always get lovely comments cause it's so unusual. I love the fact she'll be the only Cora in her class when she starts school. When we registered her birth we were told there had only been 4 Coras in the last 6 years!
I named my daughter Cora Catalina and love it. I loved Cora from when I read the Last of the Mohicans.
well, i`m a Cora too. and i think it`s the most wonderful name my parents could have given me. I believe that part of my personality revolves by simply having this name:D
My daughter's name is Kora and we love it!! It is a great old fashioned name with a little update.

I've always loved my name, and not having to share it with many! I think names effect parsonality and characteristics, even teh spelling! i've never met a Kora or a Cora but i love them both!!
That name Cora is a very special name. It means Heart & that is just what my Cora is to me. My heart!
