Do you pronounce these the same? How do you pronounce them? Which do you prefer?

I think I prefer Annora but don't like the nickname Annie. I prefer Nori, Noor, or Nora as nickname (and Honor if Honora).

Josephine Helena Pearl is my current front runner for my baby girl due in June but I am looking at other options. I also like Pearl as a first name.

I pronounce them differently - Annora is ə-NAW-rə and Honora is hə-NAWR-ə. I prefer the former.

I prefer Annora; as a virtue name I prefer Honor, but not enough to use.

Helena is inconvenient because of the various ways of pronouncing it. If it was my choice, I'd use Helen rather than Helena, even as a mn.
