A beautiful name, rare but not strange. I love it.

This is my name. I was named after my great grandmother, and my family has always pronounced the name "Huh-nor-ah". I've also heard it pronounced "On-nor-ah", with the "H" silent, more like the word "honor".

When you read it, it's very obvious and slightly cheesy, but said aloud it's absolutely gorgeous. On-or-uh.

Wow. It's the word 'honor' with an 'a' stuck on the end. It's entitled, and not even pretty.

This sounds almost Maori!

It's best pronounced with a silent H. It sounds much prettier that way. I first encountered this name while doing genealogy research on my Irish ancestry. It's a very old name. I found reference to the name Honora as far back as 1346.
