Elora and Alora
Someone asked why these suddenly became so popular and I'm interested in figuring it out as well.
Does anyone know? Is there a celebrity association?
Elora was a character in a movie which is now on Netflix, I think, so that explains it. But it doesn't explain why Alora is much more common now and I don't think a really old movie would make so many people use it at the same time.
I like Elora, but not really Alora (looks too much like Aloha). What about you?

I like Elora more than Alora, but both are pretty.
I don't know if there's a pop culture reason behind their sudden popularity. A quick Google didn't tell me anything apart from the fact that both of them are places: Elora is a town in Ontario, Canada, and Alora (Álora) is a city in Spain. But I don't think that would affect popularity.
My theory is that they're just combinations of trendy sounds. The El- prefix, complete with Al- variant. The -ora suffix. We'll surely get Ilora soon. They remind me of Eliana, Aliana, Elara, Alara, Eliora, Aliora. I think all of these names are pretty. Elora and Alora might just be variants.

LOL...yeah, I can speak with personal experience that Alora is often mistaken for "Aloha", but I love it. It's a beautiful name. No idea why it's suddenly so popular.
