Strong and lively name, I get some parent's issues that if you take the 'a' away you just have Thor but I personally think it's still pretty. Thor was around before and will be around after Marvel. It's strong but at the same time have this classic sound to it.

Thora is a super beautiful and exotic name. I imagine a girl with long and thick dark hair which fans around her face. With vivid eyes. I love names that end with -ora. The only one I love more then Thora is Isadora. But it's overall a good choice, especially for those who love Norse mythology.

I love the name! It was the name of the Norse god THOR, hence THORA is a feminine version thereof. And it means THUNDER (Thor was the god of thunder and war).

Beautiful name with a slightly old-fashioned feel to it. Rather strong, as well. In any case, a totally usable and fun name.

I think this name sounds way cool in English, even though it reminds me of 'thorax' and Thorazine. I hate it in Swedish, though!

I think Thora is a very strong name, works well on a girl with a lot of confidence! And it's unsual without sounding "made up."
