A famous bearer of this name is Nora Batty (played on-screen by the late Kathy Staff, 12 July 1928 - 13 December 2008), a well-known character from the British comedy series Last of the Summer Wine, which is set in a typical small Yorkshire town in the north of England. Due to this, I think this is a really lovely and characterful name. :)
