Re: Thank you but why Norah then?

That, I can't answer. :) I suppose random 'H's are added to names that don't have an etymological history of using one because parents think it's trendy, makes it unique, makes it longer or makes it somehow more attractive. It's kind of like the aggravating trend of using a 'Y' in lieu of vowels.
