Well there's also the holy writings of the Torah (pronounced the same in
English)... then there's the Qur'an, with a similar sound to.. oh.. Kora.  
And we all know how keen the US is on Islam right now.  Being "politically
correct" is far overrated :)

Besides what about people who have an ex-girlfriend named Kora?

As much as I think that it should be named K<insert random derisive
comment about Ashcroft HERE>, TOra sounds just fine to me...

Besides, why not fixate on kwrite.  The name is offensive to my absent
sense of creativity and tact.
