Elinor -- no contest

---

:)

Norah

My usual approach is to go for the version that offers the most options. Use Norah, and that's what you're stuck with. Use Elinor and you've got Ellie, Nell, Linor. Use Annora and you've got Ann and Nora.

---

I'd go the Elinor route - sounds so cool and elegant.

1. Annora
So pretty!! Nn Ann, Annie, Nora. Flows very nicely, too.

---

2. Elinor
It's nms, seems a bit incomplete to me. I prefer Elanor. Nn Ellie, Ella.

---

3. Norah
If it were just Nora, I would say it was dated and dusty. But the addition of the 'h' seems to help a lot.

Norah.

Annora is a close second. Elinor okay, but I would assume the nn would end up being Ellie, and you'd miss out on the Norah possibility completely.

Elinor

Elinor.

Norah.

Annora

Love Annora, its one of my favourites.

I would pick Elinor, but I would spell it Eleonor(a).

Norah

---

Without a doubt!

Definitely Annora. It still has the "nor" sound (which seems to be what you are going for), but isn't old-lady-ish like Elinor or way over-used like Norah. Plus Annora could be Nora, Nori, Anni, or Anna. So many options!

Norah

Elinor

Really been digging this spelling lately too.

I'd personally pick Elinor to use, but that's because it could honour my mom (Elly).

---

I'd love to see Annora get used! Norah is okay, but there are enough of them already.

Annora

I love Nora or Norah, so I would definitely pick that. Elinor with Nora as a nickname is also cute.

Norah. Elinor is okay, that would be my second choice. But I think Annora will constantly have to correct people because the A is easy to miss and she'd probably just get called Nora anyway (I prefer this spelling btw)

Elinor, although...

---

I do like Norah (and Nora) quite a bit. My name style is more "full name with a nickname" so if I have a choice I gravitate more toward a "full" name. That and Elinor is so pretty, it's a shame to pass it up.

---

Not a fan of Annora. I like the related Honora (and Honorine) quite a bit, but Rightly or wrongly Annora goes too far into looking like a fantasy series fan fiction sort of name. That doesn't appeal to me.

Tough because I love Elinor and Annora. Today, I'm in more of an Annie mood, so I'll pick Annora.

---

I like Nora well enough, but that final -h tanks it for me.

Elinor

---

I like Annora best, then Elinor. Both are favorites though. I don't like Norah at all. Nora is okay, but boring and not something I'd use. I'd probably use Annora as a first name and Elinor as a middle name.

Elinor, hands down!

---

I really don't like Annora because to me it just sounds like someone saying, "A Norah." As in, "Look, it's a Norah!"

Personally I wouldn't choose Annora. I don't think it would work that well where I live, and I don't like the Ann- part either.
And I dislike the spellings of Elinor and Norah, I'd spell them Nora and Eleanor/Elanor. But...if I had to choose between these names with these spellings, I'd go wih Elinor. That way I could use Nora as a nickname as well.

I love both Elinor and Annora. It's tough to pick between those two. I think right now I would say Elinor, but on another day I could just as easily pick Annora.

Probably Elinor, though I really like Annora as well.

Annora
