What do you guys think of this spelling? I just finished watching Tron: Legacy and I was wondering what people thought of the name. It's pronounced like "Cora".

I actually like the name Cora, and I prefer it's classic spelling. I think Quorra may look neat, but it seems like it is trying too hard to be "different", and it reminds me of the word "quarry". (Which, in turn, kind of makes my mind want to pronounce it like kw-or-ah, even though I could tell how it was meant to be said.) I'm also a vegetarian, so it reminds me of the brand of meatless products, Quorn. I doubt you would have to worry about many people thinking of that last one, though...lol.

I totally agree! I didn't know how to pronounce it until I read that it's pronounced as 'Cora' and I think it would confuse people.. I also just dont care for 'Q' names..

Much prefer the original spelling Cora :(
