[Opinions] Liora, Annora and Melora.
Replies
Which do I like best... hmm... I don't know, thanks to you I like all of them quite a bit for different reasons... Annora just has the sense of elegence and intellegence and autumn; Liora strikes me as very warm and bright like sun rays; Melora, but comparision, is cool and contemplative, strong but not flashy.
But, if I could only pick one, hmm... Probably Liora, if only because I think Lee is a fun shortening, where as with Annora I would live in constant fear of Annie while being less fearful, though still fearful, of yuppie-ish Nora. Mel is okay, but a bit plain, and Lora is... eh. By themselves, Mel and Lora aren't great, but put them together and you get Melora, which is awesome. Also, I think Liora is easiet to say. No idea why.
All three could work rather well. Melora works because Mel is relatively familiar. Annora works for the same reasons -- Ann and Nora are both familiar, though I think it would stick out a bit more than Melora for some reason. Liora fits, too, if only because the bright L-sound is very in right now: Lily, Emily, Kaylee, Julia... its a very familiar sound, but it sounds very fresh because not its at the beginning of the name, not at the end.
Yeah, I guess I really do like Liora best right now.
I think Annora goes best with Jonas, Ezra, Raphael, and Miriam, though. They all emit that sort of autumn/intellegence vibe.

I love Annora!
Liora is growing on me (as well as Linnea), it's nice.
Annora is very pretty.
Melora is gorgeous! I haven't made much progress on the origin & meaning beyond the possibilities I've already given you.
I like Melora the best of the three, with Annora following second. I think all three could actually work.
Ezra, Raphael, Miriam & Melora sounds like a nice sibset to me : )

Just don't have triplets(as your brother did) and name them that! (Teasing).
I think I probably like Liora best.
I like Jonas. Another "J" name I like is Josiah.
Just met a new baby in our neighbourhood, named Amalie. (parents are French-speaking). Baby is sort-of named for a grandmother, Amelia, but they prefered Amalie.

Only fraternal multiples are genetic . . .
You could still have identical twins :-P

Very true.
But the chance of identical twins are pretty rare. :-D So as long as I have my children before my late thirties, I don't have to worry.

This reminds me, I met a 2-year-old named Zora the other day (named for her grandma).
I like Melora best because I like the L sound in front of the -or-. Liora has "your" and Annora has "nor" but Melora has "laur." I just like the sound.
Annora will probably "work" best. Liora I've seen pretty often spelled Leora, which looks warmer to me. That works too; and Melora has a fantasyish tinge about it but still works fine... not so well as the others within the rest of your list, however. Annora is best among them, too.
Did you ever get info on the origin of Melora?

Nope.
The one person I know who has it has a serious "I'm so much better than you" attitude. She checks the boards fairly reguarly, but refuses to give the information. (Mary Olive/Sidonie)
Leora brings to mind the 1920s, a very strong, hard woman. Liora has a different feel. It's interesting that we often get the completely opposite view of a name. :-D

Wha? Refuses to give the information? On Behind the Name??? Excuse me while I wipe the wine spray off my screen... can you link me to a post where she makes this refusal? :face curling and twisting in incomprehension: What the...
Okay.
I didn't mean that Liora is chilly by the way - it seems very elegant, and I like it. It reminds me of Liana but a little more earthy.
