It's nice but it's sounds like something you'd name a fish.

It's quite a lovely name, but Cora, Coralie, and Coralyn sound more like actual names. They're also prettier. I do like the name, but people can be cruel and immature, and a girl named Coral might have the first letter of her name covered or erased on a few occasions, and she might get comments like ''Coral, gimme oral''. Sigh.
Facts about the color Coral: - Desire and passion is the symbolic meaning of a Coral-colored rose. - In some sects of Hinduism, Coral red instead of red is shown as being the color which represents the first chakra in Hindu philosophy.
Also, Coraline - the title character of Neil Gaiman's popular book, made into a film - is derived from the name Coral.

My name is Coral. Even though loads of people say it's a lovely and a beautiful name, some people do make fun of this name saying "aren't you meant to be under the sea, you can't live here as it's not the correct environment (in geology)". This name means seastone, maiden of the sea and a few others. I think this name is lovely. Also, it is not a abbreviation of the name Coraline or any other name.
