DD 2 needs a name- Cora?

I have a DD named Lyla and want a name with a similar feel- short, feminine, and classic. An older name-not too modern feeling. Our other favorite is Emma but I know, I know, it's sooooo popular.

Thoughts?

If you do like Cora, got any middle name ideas? I've got nothing. Emma would be Emma Katherine. Cora Katherine has a lot of "K-" sounds in it, though, I think?

Help please! I'll take suggestions but be kind. If you hate both my names my poor child may never get named at all.

I really love Cora. Do you have any family names that you might want to use as a mn?

I know two little sisters named Cora and Lila.  I really like Cora, but agree there are too many "k" sounds paired with Katherine.

Cora Margaret

Cora Josephine

Cora Elizabeth

Cora Evelyn

Cora Louise

Cora Juliet

I really love Emma despite its popularity.  Other suggestions:  Anna, Cara, Olivia, Kate (Katherine), Julia, Mia, Claire

Thanks for all the input so far!

I'd love to use a family name for her since Lyla's middle name is a family name from my side but I'm not sold on the family names from DHs side

Marilyn, Marianne, Norah (Cora Norah is no bueno!), Nancy, Marie.... I was trying to think of something starting with "M" since they have some many M names on his side....

I love Cora. 

However, Emma is my fave girl name. Screw popularity!

That's the name we picked for our little girl due in April! DH has loved that name for years but I never fancied it, but all of a sudden now that we know its a girl, I love it! We are going with Cora Lynn, and I think we will even call her "Cora Lynn" :)

I love Cora, as that was going to be our girl's name.  We were going to go with Cora Elisabeth.  I get the feeling that Cora is going to be a hot new name in the next few years.

I agree with this. I think it's the go to choice now for Nora. I've seen a TON of newborn Cora's. Not saying this to dissuade you. I love it! But if you are choosing it over Emma just for popularity it's probably not worth it.

I really like Cora, I like Emma too but you are right it is very popular right now... but then again it's a classic and always will be.

Embarrassed  I kind of like Cora Catherine... I know alliteration is a no-no on here but we ended up naming DD Maya and her mn was already set as Marie (family name), and I've really come to love the M-M together.

Cora Elisabeth is really pretty together!

Agreed- Emma is my #1!  Cora is in my top 4 for me depending on the day. If you love Emma then don't settle!  

Cora Elizabeth, Cora Lynn or Cora Ann.

I don't like Cora. I like Emma better but it's too popular for me. Sorry. What about something like Claire, or Paige? Short, feminine, and classic IMO. Lyla is cute!

I love the name Cora, and it will pair nicely with big sister's name.

LOVE Cora.  And I think it sounds great with Lyla.  I also don't mind Cora Katherine.  If you did Cora Catherine you could nn her CC, if you're into that kind of thing.

I think Cora will be getting more popular, but Lyla/Lila is pretty popular too.
