Love it! One of my favorites. I pronounce it uh-lor-uh, like in the movie Willow.
If I have enough kids, I plan to name one Elora Claire.

In France it's mostly used by Jewish people, and pronounced ay-lo-ra, like Cecile is prn. say-seel. I dunno how to explain. It's like "hey!" but with no "ee" sound at the end. Like "steak", maybe?

I would automatically pronounce it eh-LOHR-uh, but I've never seen it before. It's pretty.

My niece's name!

Although... my sister spelled it Alaura. I like this spelling because it looks more feminine and classy to me. She pronounces it uh-LOR-uh. Her full name is Alaura Dawn (after my mom), and Alaura's twin sister is Brenna Rey. They're almost three now, and her name fits her perfectly.

My sister got the name from the movie 'Willow' (Elora Danan). I've only seen the name on one other child. There's also a bottle of wine called Alaura. LOL. :)

I'm not sure where the name came from. It's possible it came from Eliora or even Elara. Or... maybe George Lucas just made it up. :)

I loved this name ever since I watched the film "Willow" in the 80's- Elora Danan was the baby princess. I think it's beautiful but makes me think of a fantasy character.

I pronounce it eh-LOR-ah.

I have only heard this name in the movie Willow (one of my favourites). I really like it.
In the Spanish version they pronunce it eh-LOR-uh.

The only time I've ever seen this name was in the film Willow by George Lucas, where it's the name of a baby princess, as far as I remember.

I don't know if it is a created name, but if it is, it's a nice one. I like it.

Never seen it. It's not in the reference I have here either.
I prefer EHlora. It doesn't then sound like an elaboration of Laura.
Could be shortening of Eleanora, but that's kinda farfetched maybe.
