HelpThoughts on Elora
In my search for the perfect name for baby #3 ... someone suggested Elora. I have not heard of it before so it is unique to me and if I am pronouncing it correctly ... EH-Lore-A, it is quite a pretty name. How would you pronounce Elora and how would you spell it? How do you think it sounds with Jolize and Jemma?
TIA

Elora Danan
is the first thought that pops into my head. She was the baby being hidden from an evil queen in the movie Willow. They pronounced it eh-LOR-ah in the movie.

Elora is lovely! I also love Alora & Melora : )
The baby in the movie Willow was named Elora, and some people may remember the name from that.
Elora may mean either “God is Light” or “God Gives the Laurel”.
BTW, I did a poll not long ago about the pronunciation of Elora: http://www.behindthename.com/polls/view.php?id=60232

I would pronounce it eh-LORE-ah. It's ok, but it seems kind of incomplete to me. Maybe because I really like the name Melora and it reminds me of that. I think it sounds fine with Jolize and Jemma. :)

Elora is a beautiful name, and it sounds nice with Jolize and Jemma. I'm surprised that Elora and Melora aren't in the database. I also like Eliora (ELL-ee-OR-a) and Liora (lee-OR-a).
I would stick with the spelling Elora.
BTW I pronounce Elora like Laura / Lora with an -eh sound attached at the beginning.

I also agree that this name is appsolutly divergent, and irradicts authenticity. Wonderful choice! However, I perfer the spelling Alora. I think it seems more "wholesome" in one way or another!

I absolutely love it...although I prefer Alora. I would pronounce Elora (el-LORE-uh).
