Ooh I love Thora!

---

Thora Melisande is my favorite here! Thora Gwendolen, Thora Emmeline, & Thora Josephine (usually not crazy about Josephine but I like it here) are runners up.

I would rather prefer Thordis, the short resp. shortened look of Thor-a doesn't appeal to me so much.
I like Thyra or Thalia much better.

I've also become more fond of Thora, though it isn't (and probably won't be) my favorite feminine Scandinavian name. I also quite like Thyra and only its Scandinavian/Finnish pronunciation. It reminds me of the painting "Thyra Elisabeth" by Finnish painter Ellen Thesleff (see below), depicting the painter's younger sister. Because of this painting Thyra seems very ethereal to me, and I get the same feeling with Thora. Also, Elisabeth makes a wonderful pair with both Thora and Thyra.

I love it! It never seems to make it into my Top 10 though. Maybe in November...

Thora has a strong, spunky, intelligent, but completely feminine vibe to me. Simple and elegant on the surface, complex and mysterious underneath.
