Dear Jennifer,
I just came across the baby name Nicora, and thought it was very unique but not too outlandish for a baby girl (albeit a bit more exotic than other daughters names’, Claire and Morgan). The name is not in your database. Is Nicora a known first name for a girl or is this a made up name?
Thank you!
Natalie
Dear Natalie,
Sounds to me like this is a created name, combining the two names Nicole and Nora (or Cora). I’d be wary, since I first associate the name with Nicorette, the anti-smoking gum. Not sure how others feel about that.
I’d get some other choices onto your list…
Sincerely,
Jennifer
