I would go for Nora more than this because the Norah spelling looks like the boy name Noah.

I think both Nora and Norah are good names. I think the extra h makes this name unique.

I loovee the extra "h"! This is also my sister's name, coincidentally, Nora (w/o the "h"), a girl, bullied me! So, i just prefer the "Norah" w a "h"! Also, in my opinion, most names that end with "a" are ugly. (most, not all! There's actually a lot of names that end w an "a" I like/love) Nora also looks uncompleted and silly. Maybe it's just bc I was bullied by sm1 w that name that left a sour taste in my mouth about the name!

I actually prefer this spelling to Nora! I used to find the “h” unnecessary, but I think that it makes it look complete. Norah is a really cool name.

Nora is fine as it is - is there really any need for the -h bit? It ruins the whole name and makes it look weird.

I much prefer Nora, it looks so much sweeter.
Nora comes from Honora or Eleanor so I don't really see where the H comes from even though I have nothing against Norah.
I just think it's unnecessary to add the H and it makes the name look more trendy and less old fashioned.
I understand that Sarah etc. get spelled with an H because there is a letter in the Hebrew version that suggests an H but for Nora there is no such thing so it looks much better to me without the H.

Good name, but my only complaint is that at the end it is "ah" and ah sounds like a sigh. So sad for all the girls with this name...
I like Nora better.

Norah or Nora is a very very common female Arabic name in Arab gulf countries, especially Riyadh the capital city of Saudi Arabia.
In the Arabic language it means light (ex. The sun light)
Nor is a rare male and female name which means the same (light)
The h at the end is usually indicated to feminize the names in Arabic.

Nora in Polish means a lair of a small animal, like a fox or a rabbit. The implication here is that it's dim, dark, dirty and unhygienic... not something you'd expect in a pretty girl.

My name is Norah Margaret, but I really don't like the Norah part of it. I want to be able to have a nickname other than "Noah." I hate when people mistake me for a Noah, because my friends start calling me that.
