I love the spelling of Laura, but one of my best friends is named Lora; she definitely helped me prefer this one. This spelling is minimalist (I like that), unique, and overall very fun in general. If you like this name, I say to go for it! Though, keep in mind, you may have to correct others; my best friend's name is commonly mistaken for Laura or Lauren. If you're looking for an alternative name, I also love Flora and Alora (since, they both have "Lora" in them).

I believe there may be some Scottish root to this name. There is a Falls of Lora and a Beinn Lora, outside the village of Connel near Oban on the west coast of Scotland. I've found some sources which say that the falls were so called by Ossian the blind poet who mentions in his work a Dun-Lora, Lora's Heath and Battle of Lora among others. So far however, I haven't found a meaning.
