Norah
WDYT?? Does the "h" make it sound/look more biblical/Hebrew? I sort of think so.
Just asking opinions.

This is my favourite spelling. It feels more complete and sophisticated. But not necessarily more Biblical, no

I much prefer Nora. That said, Norah is the exact same sound so it’s still a gorgeous name. The h is just super random. I don’t see the point of it.

I like Nora better, the final h seems a bit random. It's not a Biblical/Hebrew name that I'm aware, and I feel that names like say, Deborah or Sarah are just as "Biblical" without the final H, which would be the standard spelling in some languages.

I love the name Nora in all its spellings, and I like Nora better than Norah but I think with an H it sounds younger and sultrier.

No, the H makes it look misspelled, in my opinion. Not horribly misspelled, like Kayghtelynne or something but somewhat misspelled like Emmah, Emely, Alexys or Stephenie.It's not a Hebrew name like Sarah or Keziah. Therefore the H just seems odd and unneccessary to me. I never understood why people used Norah. Nora looks much prettier to me.But Norah is a decent name and I'm sure it is an easy name to live with. I just personally much prefer Nora.

A little bit, yes, it looks more biblical/Hebrew that way, but it looks kind of clunky. Nora has a more breezy feel about it, but I feel like the h in Norah drags it down.

The h doesn't change the sound. And I don't think it looks more Biblical because I know it's not.Norah sounds like gnawing to me. It's dowdy too.
