What do you think of Thora?

[iambrianblessed]

Just curious really. I like it but it has been vetoed by my other half.

Any other ideas would be good as second baby girl is due in 6 weeks and we have nothing! Our first daughter is called Amelia Eve.

[Lora69]

Laura is MUCH nicer!

[seashore]

I really like Thora, I would think of Thora Birch but that's not a problem, she's not quite big enough to dominate the name and anyway she is a likeable actress. It's a great name.

[Daisy00]

I like it. I would have hated it five years ago though.

[mathanxiety]

Thorax.
I think it sounds a bit dry and harsh.
Prefer Lara, Cleo, Thea and Theodora.

[Lovethesea]

Thea is much nicer than Thora. Thora reminds me of Thor so I think scandinavian war god type and find it a hard name.

[nannynick]

Thee-ah

[MinnieMalone]

Thea pronounced Thee-ah or Taya? Both lovely, btw.

[SaintGeoff]

Thora is lovely.

Thea's nice too but popular now and I'd expect Thora to beat her in a fight battle of feistiness.

[nannynick]

Glad to have been of help.
I know 1 Thea, so not sure how popular the name is, though your DD won't be the only one with that name.

[iambrianblessed]

Had a chat and a sleep on it and now looks like we might go with Thea - thank you nannynick (and tethersend ).

Actually think I might start to prefer it to Thora.

You've all been a great help

[MinnieMalone]

It's actually a lovely name when I think about it, but does remind me of Hird.

[choosyfloosy]

Thora Hird deffo springs to mind. Also passage from Pursuit of Love "... Uncle Matthew had a new record called 'Thora'. 'I come from a land of roses but dream of a land of snow. Speak, speak, SPEAK to me Thora'... It spoke to our mood exactly and Thora seemed the most poignantly beautiful of names'.

Thea is adorable.

[LaDiDaDi]

I love it.

[ozmetric]

Prefer Thea to Thora.

[bubble1]

its really hard choosing names as u have to remember...this is for life. thora is lovely...nice and conventional...my son ben goes to school with a rio and his brother kai. god help us!

[LorraineSattell]

i like it. and cora.

[tethersend]

Thea is lovely. And not rhyming slang for faeces.

[iambrianblessed]

Thea is nice too - I like the idea of something short and simple.

Thanks for the opinions/ideas so far!

[iambrianblessed]

I quite like Clara, so that could be an option.

Dame Thora rest in peace!

[nannynick]

Thora - instantly reminded me of Thora Hird.

How about Thea?

[iambrianblessed]

Yup, forgot about that. Other half pointed that out to me too.

[randomimposter]

Have to agree with PPs. Lovely though Miss/Ms/Mrs Hird was... (is?)

How about
Amelia and Clara/Clemency/Genevieve/Luisa...?
