Cora Stella + combos wdyt?

Cora is a name we both love if our baby is a girl. I have two questions.

1. What do you think of Cora Stella as a double first name (like Mary Beth, Mary Kate, etc)?
Stella honors my grandmother whom I adore. + I love the meaning of maiden star or heart star. I would still like a mn as well. Is that too much? Would Cora Stella work as a nickname somehow for Cora?

2. Which Cora combos do you like the most for sound and most for meaning?

Cora Alessandra
Cora Domenica
Cora Helena
Cora Iolanthe
Cora Jasmina
Cora Juliet
Cora Liliana
Cora Simonetta
Cora Stella
Cora Valentina
Cora Xiomara
Cora Zinnia

Cora Stella Alessandra
Cora Stella Domenica
Cora Stella Iolanthe
Cora Stella Liliana
Cora Stella Helena
Cora Stella Valentina
Cora Stella Jasmina
Cora Stella Juliet
Cora Stella Simonetta
Cora Stella Zinnia
Cora Stella Xiomara

Thanks!

I actually think it's really beautiful, and would even be okay with the smoosh Corastella.

I don't know why Cora Stella can't work. After all, several other names similar in style are popular at the moment (Isabella, Arabella, Isidora, Annabella, etc.). Having said that, there's something about Cora Stella as a full name that feels sort of clunky to me although I do like both names. I especially like Cora which was my ggm's name. If this were me, I'd use the combo since it has meaning to you but call her Cora.

Other combos I like:

Cora Alessandra -- beautiful
Cora Helena
Cora Juliet -- This is my fave combo and one I've considered.
Cora Liliana
Cora Valentina
Cora Stella Juliet -- I don't mind two names ending in a but three is a tad much, even for me.

To be honest, I don't like the double "uh" endings of Cora Stella or any of the combos you have. I just don't think it flows at all. Cora Jasmine on the other hand would be lovely. And Cora Jasmine Stella would work beautifully too.

I don't like double names that both end in the same sound, but if it has significance for you, go for it! Personally, even if it was honoring, I would look for another version of Stella that sounds more pleasing with Cora -- Cora Estelle is lovely, imo.

Of the combos you listed, I most like Cora Stella Juliet (because it doesn't have a third ending -a).
