Child's name on 1850 census

[Alexander.]

Having trouble deciphering the second name from the bottom (the five month old daughter). This is from the 1850 census in Rochester, Monroe Co., New York.

Thanks!

I haven't a clue.

Can you find the family on the 1860?

No, that's half the problem. Haven't been able to trace a single member of this rather large family after this census. Also finding birth records in New York for this time is quite difficult.

Hi.

Could the name be Cora ( with a rather squiggly capital C) ?
Certainly that is the transcription on Familysearch website   
The boy Edwin Slater aged 4 could be on the 1860 Census ( aged 14) living with a Stephen and Eliza Patten ( Eliza perhaps his sister?) in Ontario, Wayne, New York.

Find My Past also has this transcribed as Cora.

When you compare it to the writing by the same person, the name of the person is written in the upper right hand corner as Assistant Marshall - it looks like Egora.

There is the name Catherine on the same page and the C is written differently.

I can’t say I have ever heard of Egora. This couple are English and there is a male name Igor or Egor. That, I think, is a form of Georgii in Russian.

A very tricky one.

I see Cyora?

Looks to me like Cyara – variant spelling of the Irish Keira, perhaps? Just a suggestion.

I knew an Irish girl once called Ciara which is what I thought this name was - but the first letter looks like the other capital Es

[Sandblown]

It is Cyara, from the Irish meaning 'Black' (Irish 'ciar')
