What do you think of the name Thora?

I think I actually like it! It is an old lady name but then lots of old fashioned names have come back into fashion again. It's quite pretty, Thora, unusual and surely it's only over 40s that would have heard of HirdGrinShe wasn't a bad person...

I think of Thora Birch rather than Thora Hird, and I do like it, but as someone said the thought of her being called Fora rather than Thora would put me off. There's a Theo and a Thea in my daughter's class and half the children (and some parents) call them Feo and Fea.

I really like it. I think Thora Birch rather than Thira Hird (although TH had some cracking lines in Dinnerladies).

I have Thirza a few times in my family tree, I really like that too.

It's an ugly name.

I love it. It's a beautiful name.

I immediately thought of Thora Hird.
Sorry but I don't like it.

I’m not a fan of Cora or Nora but they might work for you?

BrutusMcDogface · 26/12/2021 12:41

The way many children mix up the f sound with the th- nope.
