The literary connection here is unmistakable, bringing with it connotations of curiosity, bravery, and adventure. Coraline represents a name that tells a story before your daughter even begins writing her own. It has gained traction among parents who value creativity and aren't afraid of names that carry narrative weight. 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.
