HelpRe: Norah
in reply to a message by Billina
I've always liked it - not enough to use, but close. And I also enjoy the -h version.
When my daughter was tiny, she had a school reader which featured a family named Bone. Among the kiddies were twin baby daughters, always drawn in high chairs with bowls of food in front of them, wearing bibs which read, respectively, "Hi! I'm Laura" and "Hi! I'm Nora" - or perhaps Norah, I don't recall. Ghastly twinset, anyway.
From that day on, Daughter wanted to name a puppy Norah Bone, but reconsidered when we got our next dog. I rather regret Norah Bone.
As a human name, it seems perfectly doable and fresher than Laura (which I do prefer, though).
How do you account for it - short for Eleanor, short for Honora, just a name in its own right?
