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
