I would say yes and kinda like it - but like others, my first thought on seeing it unattached to a person is "Cor blimey!" and I think a person named Cor might have to hear that an awful lot.

I like Coll better as a fantasy type name (prn. as Cole) - from Lloyd Alexander.

It could stand alone.

Cortland is an option. I knew someone with that name.
Courtney is another option. It used to be a man's name.

No

What about Corin?

---

Cor is too short as full name IMO

All I can think of is slang. It's not used where I live, so I don't even know where I've read/heard it (maybe it's in Harry Potter?), but I hear "Cor!..." and laugh to myself.

I don't think it works, by which I mean, I'd struggle to take it seriously.
Also, I've been called Tor as a joking NN but can't imagine being called that exclusively, so that might be part of why.

I've known several men named Cor. I like it although it's a tad bit old fashioned. I never met one under 50.

It's okay on its own

Ideas for full names anyway
Castor
Connor
Cormac
Cornell / Corneel
Maybe even Christopher

Cor Blimey!

I think it can probably work on it’s own, yes. I can see the appeal of it. What about Conor or Christopher?
