[Opinions] Norah
I love Norah. I think it's a great name with lots of old charm and whereas I don't mind either Eleanore / Eleanora or Leonora I think I prefer Norah on its own. What are your opinions of Norah? Do you think it could work with Patience or would a longer name with Norah as a nickname work better? I prefer Eleanore out of the three but would dread her becoming an Ellie~ Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry ~

I like it and I prefer it with the H as a full name - it just looks better to me. It may be a variant, but it's been one for a very long time.
Patience and Norah work very well together.

Norah and Nora are on the rise in popularity. I prefer Nora. Norah looks like it's trying too hard / unnecessary frill. Patience and Norah go very well together.Personally I would assume Norah, in this form, is the whole name. Whereas I'm more inclined to assume the form Nora would be short for something. I love Eleanora and I think Nora is a very natural nickname for it. Nell would also work (and I like it with Patience as well). Leonora and Patience fit together too. I don't like Eleanore - it just looks awkward.

I know that Norah is getting popular, but it still just sounds like the name of an old lady who lives in an apartment with 30 cats. It can work with Patience.

All I want when I'm an old lady is an apartment with 30 cats :'D

It looks really misspelled to me. It is derived from Honora/Eleanor so I don't see where the H comes from. Nora is cute and old fashioned but there is something almost a bit trendy about Norah. It is like Khloe or something like that to me. It works with Patience as Nora. If you prefer uncommon names you might want to use a longer version that she can fall back on, I see Nora/Norah getting crazy common.

Do you mean Norah Patience or as a sibset with Patience? I have to be honest, I am loving the Norah and Patience sibset idea. Norah Patience is also pretty. Norah is gorgeous on it's own, but I do like Lenora as well. In fact, I know a Lenora who goes by Nora. The h is somehow more handsome, but with or without I like it.

Oh hey :DI like my name well enough, although I think I prefer how Nora looks. It's hard to be objective lol. When I was younger it annoyed me that it was too short to really be given a nickname, as all my friends were Elizabeths and Katherines and the like. My middle name is Margaret and I really like Norah Margaret as a combo. I think Norah Patience is pretty and works nicely. I think Eleanore Patience is almost stuffy. I think Norah works best with middle names that start and end on consonant sounds - Norah Violet, Norah Celeste, Norah Simone, etc.

How about Norah short for Honor, Honora or Honoria?
