Aura is generally the usage for gold, qv. ora is what the natives call the Komodo Dragon in the Flores Sea of Indonesia.

I'm pretty that the mother in The Yearling was called Ora Baxter.

I kind of like this name. I don't see it being used on a boy.

It's a rather ugly name that sounds like "or a" and also unfortunately the native name of the Komodo dragon. Besides, Ora is quite dated and redneck.

REDNECK? Oh please! The name Ora is SO beautiful, "to pray and light" are wonderful meanings. Although it is too close to oral, (you know what I mean uh huh) I still love it.
