[Opinions] Iris and Cora
But Iris and Cora are growing on me. I used to dislike them both but somehow I like them now. I just think they’re both very classy, while still having a mystical feel. I think Cecily and Cora would be a cool sibset.
Cora would also work with Iris but I feel like the vibe is a bit overwhelming. There’s barely any contrast in style. What do you think about Iris and Cora separately? What would you pair with them?

Iris is one of my favorites, In my top 10 for sure. I love the sound, and it is so simple!Iris Dominique
Iris Angelica
Iris Penelope
Iris Adriana
Iris VictoriaCora is also good, I like it, but not as much as Iris. Cora is much better than Coraline, Corinne, Coralyn and other stuff like that.Cora Dominique

Cora is one of my favorite names and is on my short list for names I would give an actual child. For some reason I don't really like Iris or Cecily, but I can't tell you why. That being said, I think Cora and Iris can go together as a sibling set, and I personally don't find it overwhelming. I don't like Cora and Cecily together.

Iris and Cora and definitely sisters. I love it. And I don’t even like Iris like that.Iris is an okay and lovely name. I’m not crazy about about it compared to other people but it’s like a rainbow with a lot of gold at the end of it. The flower depending is nice. Cool name.Cora I pretty much always liked. It’s a cute name. Cecily is nice too I guess. Iris Cordelia
Cora Persephone
Cecily Imogen

Iris used to be my favourite name of all time. I like its mythical connection to the Greek rainbow goddess, and I think it goes very well with my surname. My only gripe with it is that my favourite Iris combo, Iris Ariadne, is composed of two cold names, while combos should ideally be a cold name and a warm name in any order.Cora is like a gruffer version of Cordelia and Cornelia. Still aristocratic, but self-assured and kind of nasal. I don't dislike it, but kora (essentially pronounced the same way) means tree bark in Polish. I like the tautological Cora Persephone and Cora Proserpina / Cora Proserpine.

What names do you classify as cold? Which ones as warm? I’m curious

I like them separately and together. I don't see the vibes as too matchy. Iris seems a bit cold and airy to me while Cora is warmer and earthier; I like that I could associate both with spring and Greek mythology, but I feel like that's a subtle association and not overbearing. Though they both seem about equally similar to Aurora, Lyra, and Vera to me.Vibewise Iris reminds me more of Ariel, Irene, Isla, Athena, Beatrice and Cora of Daphne, Cara, Willow, Constance, Sarah. I could see either of them with a sister named something like Vivian, Laurel, Opal, Mary, Maeve, Talia, Serenity, Selena, Maxine, Eve, Adeline, Helen, Rowena, Winifred, Gwen, Avery...I don't really like Cecily, but it works ok. The vibe reminds me of Lydia, which I also don't really like. I'd rather see Amy or Cecile.Iris Mabel and Cora Sunshine were the first combos I thought of. Then Iris Timothea and Cora Evangeline. They could go with lots of things, though.

I vastly prefer Laura to Cora. Iris and Cecily would be nice, and so would Laura and Cecily.

I adore Cora, and I think Iris is beautiful too. I love the suggestion of Iris Juliet, and I think it would go well with Cora Delphine or Cora Estelle.

I love both Iris and Cora. Paired together, I think of flirtatious, classy, wealthy, secretly intelligent young women in fancy dresses with champagne glasses from 1930s England. Oddly specific, not entirely sure where that came from lol. Cecily & Cora is a great sibset, but I prefer Iris to Cecily so I'd choose Iris & Cora. I agree that the vibe is quite strong but I don't mind.Iris Andromeda & Cora Ariadne
Iris Winona & Cora Wisteria
Iris Juliet & Cora Elodie
Iris Ruby & Cora Lily
Iris Penelope & Cora Margaret
Iris Estelle & Cora Beatrix
