Alora for DD due August. And middle name suggestions. Last name is Smith.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

@Salmonisthebestfish , which is why posters are pointing out that it sounds like um in Italian.

I’d like to remind people that different languages and cultures exist outside of your own bubble!!

You still haven’t said which language you’re relying on.

Very true, but you have asked what people think of the name, and they have given their opinions as requested!

Sounds like a margarine.

Crikey that was actually my first thought too. One of those cholestorol reducing ones. Sorry OP.

Eleanor isn’t the root name. Eliora Is.

I’d have that then, Eliora. It’s more substantial.

In what language?

If you mean Hebrew, “El” is the usual name element for the Lord, and “Or” for light. So “Eliora” or “Elora” could represent the meaning you are looking for, but as others have said “Alora” just looks like a misspelling of the Italian filler word Allora.

Show quote history

“Meaning of Alora
The meaning of Alora is better than best:'God's Light' AL= God and ORA= LIGHT.
The Greek try to take all the credit for the "invention" of the name Alora for the mere fact that very little evidence exists, proving that the Latin language also had a part to play in creating the name). As for the Jewish name Alora it actually has two meanings, many only associate Alora with the with the words "God" and "light" but in reality the other meaning of Alora is "counselor of divine light."

'Atora suet can do it' - just don't OP

Gloschick · 13/05/2025 22:40

It makes me think of Allora too. Elora would be better. Elora seems to autocorrect to Flora though which might be annoying (although Flora might be a good alternative!)

Alora means “the lord is my light”

I don’t like it at all personally, I think the root name Eleanor is much prettier. It’s a bit new-age made up for my tastes.

MelliC · 13/05/2025 22:37

Allora is Italian for "so" or "well then" or "right".
As in "right, shall we go then?"

Give the poor child a proper name!

Home - Atora and Flora combined.

Ooh I think Flora is such a beautiful name, has a similar sound too.

First thing I thought of was margarine. Sorry! 😬

Model of caravan....no, not quite, it's a motorhome model by Bailey!

ZepherinDrouhin · 13/05/2025 22:35

Awful, I think you can choose a better name.

PrettyPuss · 13/05/2025 22:34

I wouldn’t. There are thousands of nicer names out there .
