The structure is interesting—it takes the classic Cora and extends it, adding layers of complexity and intrigue. This name suggests a child who will question, explore, and perhaps color outside the lines in the best possible ways. Phonetically, it maintains clarity while offering something distinctive. The name works across age groups, never feeling too precious for an adult or too serious for a child. For parents drawn to names with personality and depth, Coraline delivers abundantly.
