::::::True, but Sora is Japanese, compared to Ephemera which is an English word adapted from either Latin or Greek. And I personally prefer Ephemer to Ephemera. In my opinion, I think it sounds better as a boy's name.

:::::It's not a "made-up name", not according to the actual page. Ephemera is a real word, it's just not used as a name often, if ever. It doesn't sound masculine to me for two reasons. Firstly, because not a lot of male names end with the letter "a" in English to my knowledge. And secondly because Ephemera sounds like effeminate, which literally means unmanly.
