[Opinions] Nora
Hi !!!
Nora (NO-ra) as the Italian form of Nour (and a secondary link with Eleonora).
Nora is one of my favourite names and it's in my list for a future daughter.
I love its link with light and its elegant vibe despite being so short.
WDYT?

I like it quite a lot; but in English it rhymes with Laura, which I would love to use for a daughter, so I've never really given it much thought.
I think I'd rather use Eleanor, or Elinor. The nn would probably be Ellie rather than Nora, but that's the chance you take.
And when my daughter was tiny, she had a picture book about a family - can't remember the story line or who they were, but their ln was Bone and there were twins called Laura (which is fine) and Nora (as in Gnaw A Bone?!). They wore bibs: one read 'Hi! I'm Laura' and the other 'Hi! I'm Nora'. Gave me a lot of pleasure.

I think it's nice. It does seem light and elegant, and simple without being too plain.
I don't like it enough that it's a favorite. The sound of No / Nor in names just doesn't appeal to my fancy. But it's softer than most "NO" names because when I say it, it rhymes Laura, rather than sounding like "NO-ra" - it doesn't have a strong "sound of the word NO."

It’s beautiful, but I do think of it as a nickname.
I've always liked it. :)
