Norah?

Absolutely love the name Norah and it is also the name of my Grandmother. I’m worried it might be a bit too old fashioned though. What do you thinks?

Norah is having a come back. I really like Eleanor nn Nora for my DD but it didn't suit her when she was born

Gnaw a bone. I dislike, I’m afraid

I think it's lovely, especially with the "h" on the end - it's a bit abrupt without. Definitely one of those comeback names akin to Esme, Meg, Rose and Ruby.

I love it and had a wobble of name regret after calling last dd something else, wished I'd used it as we had a great great auntie Nora who was just wonderful in every way. It's lovely, I would have left off the h because I'm a bit annoyed by unnecessary letters but it doesn't make a lot of difference. Very lovely.

I love it, it was my great grandmothers name but spelt 'Nora'.

I'm not keen personally but I dont think theres anything wrong with it!

I think a lot of these more traditional names are making a come back, I really like the name, I wouldn't use it myself, but I had a great aunt who was called it, a lovely, warm, smiley person.

I like it. I love Norah Jones music.

Love it. I don't think it's too old fashioned will fit right in with all the Ellas and Mayas.

Love it and it’s definitely making a come back
