Seriously considering it for baby. Only a few months to go. What do you think?

Gorgeous name

Lovely

I love it!

YOu have to think how it is going to be said in your regional accent though as being from the Manchester i would pronounce it without the H Blush

That goes for most names beginning with H to be honest and my accent is not that strong.

You don't pronounce the H dyzzidi. Tis my mum's name and it's lovely. Timeless.

Nice name, but rather a hostage to fortune, like Grace, or Charity.

Just had a thought Is Nora the diminutive of Honour/Honor? Or maybe that's for Eleanor/Eleanora?

Love Honor.

Yes BellaMagnificat, afaik Nora is a diminutive of Honor or more often Honora, especially in Ireland.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 15/01/2011 05:22

Lovely, really lovely. Never heard it said with the H though.

Love it...our first choice if DC is a girl...!!!!!

PlanetLizard · 15/01/2011 10:25

I like it :)

Rhubarbgarden · 15/01/2011 10:26

Dislike it because to me it looks like it's missing a 'u', even though I know it isn't.

Helzapoppin · 15/01/2011 12:54

It's beautiful. We are considering it for DC due in the summer too.

I prefer Honora, but DH says that's too fussy.

I have a great aunt called Honor and she is wonderful, so i naturally see it as a warm and lovely name.

Honor is a fantastic name.

Beautiful in every way.

Classic, eternal and timeless. Please choose Honor.Smile
