Wow, I could have posted this!
With the exceptions of Lydia and Gwendolyn, all of those have been on my personal name list at one time or another. I like Lydia enough, too. Gwendolyn I'm not fond of, though I do love Genevieve.
Of the MNs you have listed, I think Cora June flows best, though overall it's not my favorite name of what you have listed.
Some more suggestions from my reserves:
Cora Beatrice
Cora Helena
Cora Lucille
Cora Meredith
Magnanimous Despair alone could show me so divine a thing, where feeble hope could ne'er have flown, but vainly flapped its tinsel wing.

I love Cora, its cute on a little girl but still works on someone a bit older. Cora June is lovely! I also would love to see Cora Isabel, Cora Lydia or Cora Sylvia. Much as I like Olive and Violet, putting either of them with Cora kind of makes it sound more like a phrase then a name, to me.
Other suggestions:
Cora Genevieve
Cora Jillian
Cora Veronica
Cora Virginia
Cora Annabel
Cora Mercedes
Cora Emily
Cora Rhiannon
Cora Evelyn
Like any?

I love these names
You have really lovely taste! With the eception of Amelia, Violet, Isabel, and Bianca, all are names I'd consider.
Cora I have mixed feelings on. On one hand, it's very pretty - but I still picture an older woman with the name. I knew one, and she wasn't the type of older woman I admire. Cora June is pretty, but I'd use Cora Isabel.

I've loved the name Cora for a long time. Of your combos, I like Cora June and Cora Nadine the best.
“The caveman method I abhor, and I do not believe that it is ever successful with the women who is worth having. Who could desire a woman taken by force? Who would gain any pleasure from loving or caressing a woman who did not give in return?"

Cora is one of those hidden treasures waiting to be rediscovered. Good for you. Of your mns choices I like Cora june the best.
Gwendolyn -- Lovely, but traditionally Welsh girl names end in "-en" and boy names end in "-yn." Therefore I prefer the Gwendolen spelling.
Cecilia -- Very pretty. I see you have both Cecilia and Cecelia listed. Which do you prefer? Since it's a feminine form of Cecil, I prefer the Cecilia spelling.
Isabel -- Very elegant.
Olive -- Love it. Such a nice alternative to overly used Olivia.
Beatrice -- Beautiful classic.
Bianca -- A little harsh sounding to my ears, but still a nice classic.
Amelia -- Lovely, although I slightly prefer Emilia.
Lydia -- World peace would be achieved if there were more Lydias, I always say.
Violet -- So sweet. Nothing says "nostalgic charm" like Violet.
Sylvia -- This is an up and comer of a name. At least I hope so. It's so effortlessly elegant.
