I have seen the name coral in books and heard it on T.V. The bearers of this name tend to be older. The last time it ranked in the top 1,000 according to Social Security Administration Baby Names Site was in 1992. 1888 was the year it was most popular. I like it and I used it as the last name of one of my characters.
