[Opinions] Corabeth
From the name of a student that attends my school.Corabeth got some positive attention when I posted the student name list, so I decided to see what everyone else thinks of it.
Do you like it? What would you pair it with in a combo?To be honest, I dislike it (as I dislike most "Beth" names). It looks dated yet overly cutesy at the same time, and it’s not too creative of a mash-up either.
I think some people like the "Southern Belle" type image it projects, though.

I like Corabeth but would most likely spell it Cora Beth. Better still, I'd name her Cora Elizabeth, nn Cora Beth. It's sweetly old fashioned. I hope Cora doesn't get too popular.

It reminds me of the character from "The Waltons," whom I liked because she was kind of a hoity-toity, high falutin' person who put on airs. As a result, I can't really divorce those qualities from the name. If I tried, I think I'd find it quaint.

I prefer the Beth half to the Cora half, but together it looks and sounds like a mess.

I like it. I don't think it has a Southern Belle image, I think it's more of a dusty/bookish style.
I only like a few Beth names, and not beth itself. I like Annabeth and Corabeth and maybe Bethan (but I think I prefer it as a suffix).Corabeth Lily

It's a domestic/rustic fantasy mishmash, and as an example of that genre I rather like it. Both elements appeal to me and I think they work well together.Corabeth in a combo, hmm wow awkward. Short names are awkward because it makes it seems like a list of three short names. Long names are awkward because Corabeth is already a bit long. Corabeth Frances sort of works. Family surnames would also plug in fairly well there. Then normal but slightly weird names could sort of work, like perhaps Corabeth Deirdre or something.

I’d prefer it in two words. I actually kind of like Sarah Beth and Anna Beth.

I low-key love it. It would look out of place in the UK, but I think it’s sweet.

I like it despite myself.
Love both Cora and Beth separately. Not usually fond of two names smushed together like that but it’s kind of doing it for me. I find names ending with Beth hard to combo so I dunno...Corabeth Rachel
Corabeth Colleen
Corabeth NiamhYeah it’s hard to pair.
