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?

I know a beautiful, inside and out, 25 year old Nora. I love the name.

BettysSpaghetti · 08/11/2020 23:51

I love that it means ‘light’.

Thanks all. Now to work on the middle name.

Personally just think Batty when I hear Nora but kids at school will never have heard of Last Of The Summer Wine so just roll with it!

was one of my GM names, but i don't care for it really.
i guess norah batty comes to mind.
but is a perfectly proper name. go with your choice.
i prefer noreen, think it sounds less abrupt.

I like it...reminds me of Norah Jones

While it doesn't appeal to me it is perfectly up-to-date - in fact I assume it's rising in the name popularity charts.

Middle names will be easy op... Nora is a very easy name to follow imo.

Nora Elizabeth

See? I think something long works well. Congratulations x

JemimaTiggywinkle · 09/11/2020 16:04

I love it, but prefer it as Nora

VenusClapTrap · 09/11/2020 18:36

Lovely. I like Noor a lot too.

MrsEricBana · 09/11/2020 18:39

Love it too. Nora Seed is the main character in the Midnight Library. (V good)

AgathaTabathaBagatha · 09/11/2020 19:25

I love it, not a fan of old-fashioned names usually, but Norah is actually quite elegant.

Norah Jones beats Nora Batty any day! Grin

Escourtie · 09/11/2020 19:32

Beautiful Name

Heh1991 · 10/11/2020 01:02

I love it x

'Nitty Norah' is what came straight into my mind, but, as we are well into two pages in and no-one else has said it, I guess it must just be me Blush but still I wouldn't name a dd of mine Norah.
