Opinions?

I instantly think of Thora Hird but old lady names are all over the place at the mo so that shouldn't be a problem! And Thora Birch, what happened to her?

I likes names that end in A, I want one that's unusual but not to crazy or complicated.

My husband was insistent on this name for our daughter, because of the Thor link. I actually know it would have suited her very well.

We didn't go for it because I am Christian and want her baptised. Didn't fancy that conversation with the priest.

The Nordic version of Thora is Tora, pronounced like Torah. This might be the reason it is not that popular outside of Scandinavia.

It's currently number 2969 in the rankings! What's wrong with it? Why didn't it get popular along with Freya? They are both Norse names, is it the Thora Hird/Stannah stair lift association?

I think Hird. Sibilant mutters about stairlifts TBH.
Thea?

I love the name Thora. I instantly think of Thora Birch too but I don't think that's a bad thing.
