Nora / Norah thoughts

[normadix]

Since we don't have a lot of posts yet and I can't post on TB anymore, why not add to the board? DH NEVER thinks of any names but brought up Nora today. Thoughts? Nora or Norah?

It does start with the first 3 letters of our son's name, but the sound is different so I don't think it is that big of a deal but let me know if I'm wrong.

[normadix]

Oh lol son's name is Connor btw

[bromios]

Of the two, I prefer Nora. I don't know what your son's name is, but I would side-eye the following sibsets:
Nora and Norman
Nora and Norbert
Nora and Norton
Nora and Norris
Nora and Norwood

I don't know, Nor is a pretty distinctive initial collection of phonemes.

Wait, then how does Nora start with the first three letters of Connor? Anyways, that's much better. Nora and Connor sound fine together.

I think she meant last 3 letters

I love Nora and I think it's cute with Connor.

I prefer Nora without the h. Nora and Connor are a nice sib set.

Hah! That is what I meant. ConNOR and Nora. No C names for either sex would ever be considered for a second.

I prefer Nora, and it's fine with Connor. I do like it better as a nn for Eleanor or Elinor, but that's just personal preference.

I *think* I do too, especially Elinor.
Connor and Elinor
Connor and Eleanor

I don't know, still a different sound so I'm not sure how much I care about both names ending in NOR but I might care

[ashiscute]

I love Nora. My nephew is Connor and his half-sister (not my niece) is Nora. I think it's a great sibset.

[seahorse85]

Nora.
I also prefer it as a nn for Eleanor but like it either way. I think they both sound okay with Connor.

[Stormtroopooper]

I love Eleanor/Elinor so much more. I don't dislike Nora, but it's very much nms.

[TheEleventhHour]

I love Nora. I prefer it without the H. I think it is nice with Connor.

[chelscole]

I actually really like it with the h. It is a lovely name either way. I think it sounds fine with Conner

[somethingvague]

I LOVE Nora, no H. And it goes lovely with Connor

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

I don't think the endings of Connor and Elinor together are much of a problem because the sounds aren't exactly exactly the same.

[zebrapanther1311]

Dd is Eleanor and she sometimes goes by Nora. So i do like it but obviously prefer Eleanor with Nora as a nn.

That being said, it's a fine stand alone name and I do think Connor and Nora sound better than Connor and Eleanor.

[packerfan4life]

I like Nora (prefer without the -h). I think Nora and Connor are fine together.

[chasing]

I prefer Norah, with the "h," but it looks like I'm in the minority. To me, the "h" makes it feel more as a stand alone name and not a NN.

[DanaScullyX]

I love Nora and definitely no H.

[mamarn13]

I prefer Nora and I think it goes great with Connor!

[bigrock74]

Nora. One of my favourite names.

[billyhorrible]

I love Nora.

I don't love Nora and Connor together and I really dislike Eleanor and Connor together. But I'm hyper sensitive to endings. We ruled out Eleanor for the next kiddo because our son's name ends in -er and I find them too sing-songy.

[sweetpeabee]

I like Nora, and I think it sounds nice with your DS's name.

[bluediamond]

My daughter is Norah with the H, so I of course, like that better, but I think it's more popular without the H so she'll probably be correcting people all her life with the spelling. I just think it looks much prettier with the H.

[things]

Definitely prefer Nora.

[maddielynn321]

I think Nora and Connor are great together. I like Eleanor but not with Connor.

[Deleted]

I've never been a fan of Nora but especially now because it seems to be increasing in popularity.  But the name is fine, just NMS. And I think it works with Connor.

[MissMarch]

Nora

[ShtsNGiggles]

I like Nora and think it sounds fine with Connor.
