and Honora?

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 07/09/2022 19:13

I like Norah and Honor but not Honora .

ElizabethBest · 07/09/2022 19:14

Nicer without the h on the end

youagainomg · 07/09/2022 19:15

Norah Jones amazing singer, love it

PeekAtYou · 07/09/2022 19:15

I like Noa, Nora and Honor (Honour) but not Honora.

Tiktok1 · 07/09/2022 19:17

Not sure about Honora, but Norah is gorgeous. We would have used it if DS had been a DD. Love it with an h on the end

whoopsnomore · 07/09/2022 19:18

Another one for Nora (or Norah) or Honor. Not Honora, though. Would sound strange.

Newmum110 · 07/09/2022 19:21

Love it with the h

Hadtocomment · 07/09/2022 19:23

Love Nora with or without h. I've not heard of Honora. It feels a bit much to me. Honor is quite an elegant and strong name I've always thought.

hop321 · 07/09/2022 19:45

Ok, it seems I'm the only one that automatically thought of "Bloody Nora"... I'll see myself out.

RefuseTheLies · 07/09/2022 19:46

No - my husband says this. Also ‘Gordon Bennett’

hattie43 · 07/09/2022 19:53

Nope don't like it at all , with or without an h

Cas112 · 07/09/2022 20:01

I can't help but think bloody Norah

Luredbyapomegranate · 07/09/2022 20:10

I like Oona, Honor and Leonora.

Don’t really like Honora

Norah makes me think of snoring so no

drumandthebass · 07/09/2022 20:16

It's a no from me

Nope, was my first thought too!

Nora Batty

jjeoreo · 07/09/2022 21:49

I don't normally comment unkindly on these threads but I have to say my first thought is always "ruddy Norah!".

PuppyMonkey · 07/09/2022 21:54

We’re looking after MIL’s parrots at the moment and he’s always shouting: “Bloody Norah!” Quite amusing.

(Also “Alexa, turn Smooth Radio on.”) Hmm

DramaAlpaca · 07/09/2022 22:25

I don't like Nora/h. I find it such an ugly name.

Honora isn't much better, though I do like Honor.

mackthepony · 07/09/2022 22:27

Not keen on Norah or Noah

PinkButtercups · 07/09/2022 22:33

It reminds me of when people at school used to call people Nitty Norah if they had nits.

Chocolatepringles · 07/09/2022 22:36

I really like Nora / Norah

confusedlots · 07/09/2022 22:40

I really like Elinora which is often shortened to Nora.
