    I love it too, both spellings. But I'm an ol' fashioned gal.

    I loved it and kept suggesting it for DD2, but DH kept responding with 'bloody norah!'

    I like it because it reminds me of Norah Jones, but I probably wouldn't use it because it reminds me of "Bloody Norah!!"

    I'd spell it Nora. I think it looks a bit gentler. Norah looks masculine to me.

    Nora Catherine.

    Just randomly, I was thinking about the name Nora recently & decided I liked it. I have no idea why I was thinking about that name. Maybe so I could form an opinion just for you

    I prefer without the "h" for simplicity.

    The only drawback if you ever read Enid Blyton, there was a really annoying character called Nora in some of her books. I can't remember which ones.

    First thing that comes to mind is Bloddy Nora the I think Norah jones who has a beautiful voice but not a name I could use.

    Norah?

    I'm not sure about Norah but depends on surname I guess.
    I like Torah, I know it's similar, but I like it.

    Norah?

    Love it. For ease of spelling I'd go with Nora. I'm always needing to spell my name and it gets pretty annoying at times. Nora is a bit elegant, slightly unusual and works for a child and an adult.

    I once worked with a girl named Noura. She was Lebanese and called everyone habib! So I can't help but think of that!

    DP suggested Rosemary last night... because he likes it on his roast.
    I laughed out loud and startled myself o.O

    I like Nora but could never use it as one of my step-dad's growing up always used "Holy Nora!" as his explicative of choice, and every time I hear it, I think of that.
