sorry cross post!

I think it would probably end up being shortened to something. Lea maybe?
I like both Lea and Nora .

I like it but I think I’m biased Grin.

no thats Lenore... but even so, that is a name that has been in usage for a long time as a girls name. Like Flora which is pretty popular now but also used as the name of a butter.
So im not sure that matters too much.

I like it, and I think Nora is cute.

I love it but not brave enough to use it because of the Lenor fabric conditioner. In fact I love Leonor even more (like the princess of Spain)

Leonora is lovely but I w I uldnt use Nora as a diminutive, it's not very nice. I don't think it's necessary to have a diminutive as the name rolls quite easily

Isn't that the name of a fabric softener?
