Nina or Nora?

Middle name Jean

I know about the possible Norma Jean association but not sure it will be too relevant or even thought about to her / her peers!

Now

I love Nina! Sadly i forgot about it when naming my daughters. Middle names don't need to go together imo. They are rarely said together. Choose the name you like best!

Nora is a boring name. Nina is nice. I LOVE Nola, so pretty.

Kitkat1523 · 10/05/2024 17:41

Nina ….definitely not nora

Nina for sure, lovely name. Nora always makes me think of norovirus (may just be me that thinks that)

BePinkPombear · 10/05/2024 17:37

going against the grain cos I think Nina Jean sounds really nice!

Lakelandmumofthree · 10/05/2024 16:35

I know a Nina and she's vile so struggling with it! Really like Orla which is similar to Nora but more modern, means Golden Princess.

Hobbesmanc · 10/05/2024 16:31

Nora is fab. I prefer the Norah spelling but it's a great name. Jean (or Joan) are great sturdy ageless names. Very Enid Blyton.

jackstini · 10/05/2024 16:25

I prefer Nina but it doesn't go that well with Jean

How about Nadia or Naomi?

bloodyeffinnora · 10/05/2024 16:20

like Nina, hate Nora ( as you can tell from username) love Nola.

PinedApple · 10/05/2024 16:19

I know a Ninorah nn Nino which I quite like!

Huskyfat · 10/05/2024 16:18

Nora or Norah is gorgeous

Redlarge · 10/05/2024 15:55

Not the question but i adore the name jean for male and female

NameDecision91 · 10/05/2024 15:49

I love the name Nina :)

LauderSyme · 10/05/2024 15:49

I prefer Nora Jean to Nina Jean but tbh am sorry to say I don't particularly like either. Would you consider spelling it Norah? I prefer that somehow.

bumblebubble23 · 10/05/2024 15:48

Was suppose to say beau as the middle name autocorrect lol

bumblebubble23 · 10/05/2024 15:47

My daughters called Nola, beautiful as the middle name I love Nina tho too

Abracadabra12 · 10/05/2024 15:45

What about Nola Jean?

SquigglePigs · 10/05/2024 15:32

I think Nina is the nicer of the two.

Moreteaandchocolate · 10/05/2024 15:31

Nina is gorgeous :) Nora is nice, just possibly very slightly too “old lady” for me.

Mandarinaduck · 10/05/2024 15:30

I prefer Nina but it doesnt go well with Jean.

ClaudiaWinklepanda · 10/05/2024 15:29

I think Nora is one of those names you need to be very beautiful/striking/charismatic to carry off.

NosyJosie · 10/05/2024 15:17

Prefer Nina but both are kind of old especially with the Jean middle name.
Nora is also short form for Eleanor (which I like) but if people assume she’s an Eleanor and she is spending her whole life correcting them that could get annoying
