I love it!

YOu have to think how it is going to be said in your regional accent though as being from the Manchester i would pronounce it without the H Blush

That goes for most names beginning with H to be honest and my accent is not that strong.

You don't pronounce the H dyzzidi. Tis my mum's name and it's lovely. Timeless.

Nice name, but rather a hostage to fortune, like Grace, or Charity.

Just had a thought Is Nora the diminutive of Honour/Honor? Or maybe that's for Eleanor/Eleanora?

Love Honor.

Yes BellaMagnificat, afaik Nora is a diminutive of Honor or more often Honora, especially in Ireland.

Dislike it because to me it looks like it's missing a 'u', even though I know it isn't.

It's beautiful. We are considering it for DC due in the summer too.

I prefer Honora, but DH says that's too fussy.

I have a great aunt called Honor and she is wonderful, so i naturally see it as a warm and lovely name.
