[Opinions] Nora and Norah
Wdyt? I like them both, especially Nora and thought it would be more popular now. Are they good as short forms and for what names? Do you know any?

Nora and Norah both feel incredibly dry and dowdy to me, and it honestly baffles me that they are fashionable again. Even Cora, which is likewise still incredibly old, I at least a little bit understand because it has a sophisticated energy to it, but Nora just feels like a 70 year old farmer's wife to me. Not that 70 year old farmer's wives don't have value as human beings but it just feels so dowdy, dated and frompy. Even Dora is better imo and Dora still has a few obvious reasons why it shouldn't be back yet. Eleanora or Maura are perhaps the most similar names that still feel recyclable again.

I like them as full names and nicknames. I prefer Nora. I don't think I like many names ending with an unnecessary H. The exceptions are probably Noah and Hannah. It differentiates them from variants that are pronounced differently or used differently somewhere else.
Nora can be short of Leonora, Lenora, Elenora, Noralyn, Noraline or Noralee.
