I like it a lot! I'd love to see it used more IRL. I like Cora-leen and Cora-line, but my first instinct is to say Cora-line.

I like it. My favorite pronunciation is KOR-uh-leen. Unfortnately, a lot of people would pronounce it KOR-uh-line.

How would you pronounce it?
cora-a-leen (like the book) or cora-a-line?
I love it but unfortunately most Americans would pronounce it cora-a-line and therefore I wouldn't use it.

I thought they pronounced it Cora-LINE in the book?
I've never read it, but when the movie based on the book came out a few years ago, that's how the characters pronounced it...I think. :/

My husband heard Neil Gaiman read the book.
Gaiaman pronounced it cora-a-leen in it. I'm not sure about the movie at all - we never saw it - but I'm certain of the pronunciation. We're big-time Gaiman fans.

Maybe it's pronounced differently in the UK? Neil Gaiman is British, so it's possible.
Anyway, I've only heard Cora-LINE. *shrugs*

Where I volunteer there's a child with that name.

I loved the movie, and would love the name even more on a little girl :D

I like the sound but I think of the film. I prefer Coralie which is a bit sweeter and isn't associated with the film so much.

I love it. It's one of my favorite girl names.

Not a lot. Looks like a dyslexic attempt at the beautiful Caroline, or an adjective.
But, I like Coralie a lot, and Coral and Carol not at all. Cleaarly, Coraline has confusing neighbours!

I prefer just plain Cora. It's more sophisticated & reserved, but equally pretty.

i really like it. i pronounce it COR-uh-leye-n not cor-uh-LEEN, although that's nice enough, too. i think cora is a cute nickname, as well. it's a nice change from caroline, carolyn, and carol.
