I like all of these similar names but can't decide which one is my favourite.

I am very fond of Elinor/Eleanor too but it sounds too typically English for our family so doesn't fit!

It would be really helpful to have some comments re pros/ cons of the above names

Many thanks.

Honor

Thanks for all your opinions.
I see what you mean about Annora, belgo! I would pn it Ann-ora not A-nora (like a Nora) if that makes any sense.

Eleanora, also Aleanora is nice.

Honor, lovely name

Annora is my second middle name. I used to have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it because I was called Nora Batty, but Nora is quite acceptable now I think. Also, I saw an old advert with Bruce Forsythe in it the other day, and he said something like "you must be Annora, may I call you Nonnie" which is rather nice imo.
Have had some reactions that Annora sounds made up.

Great to hear of an Annora, audley!
I don't think Nora is embarrassing any more!

Another thread with Leonora! Eleanora is beautiful too.

Leonora without a doubt - it's been around for many years and is very underused (except by the posh circles for some reason).

I was nearly a Lenora (Portuguese) but ended up with the Anglicised version! I like Leonor. I think Annora is lovely - what's its derivation?

missgenevieveclavel · 12/06/2010 10:15

reshape- I am so thrilled that someone likes Annora!
It is derived from Honora, meaning honour
