I really liked Korra from the Legend of Korra (ATLA sequel.) She resonated with me, and her struggles and growth throughout the show was very meaningful to me because of my struggles with my trans identity.
I also looked over baby name lists when I was waffling on if I wanted to fully decide on Korra, and there I discovered the alternative spelling Cora. The heart/maiden meaning was more appealing to me, so I went with that. It really just felt right once I got over the initial weirdness of being called something that wasn’t my deadname.
Funny thing, before changing my name, I never met any other Cora’s. Now I’ve met quite a few in the rather short time period. I also love that you are picking a name that is more representative of your identity :)
Cora is also one of Persephone's names. So you can channel that Queen of the Underworld energy if you want.
My wife actually told me that this morning as well. Yeah, I’m gonna try channeling some of it hehe
aww, that’s so sweet :) getting to have both a connection to a character who is really important to you as well as a more appealing meaning is really nice, i love that you love it!
One of my great grandmothers was named Cora, and that's the only one I've ever known of. It's a beautiful name
