So uncommon and pretty! It ages very well, and is cute, and sweet, but also sounding kinda smart too!
One of my favorites for sure! It ages so nicely among uncommon Hebrew names, along with this, Lior, and Liorit, and so much more!
I think it goes well with so many middle names! Liora Madeleine is just a beautiful combo, and I can think of so much more!

This is made up of two Hebrew names, Li, and Ora (the feminine form of Or). The MASCULINE form, Lior, is made up of also two Hebrew names, Li, and Or. The Variant of this name, Liorit, is made up of Li, and Orit. Very pretty name, that ages very well, is formal, as well cute, and there are many nicknames! Good name, and the meaning is awesome!

I wanted to name my daughter this beautiful name but my husband did not like it. I adore it. It is very feminine sounding. A standout name.

Liora/Leora also is a diminutive of Eleanor. I want to use Liora for my next baby if she's a girl as my sister was called Eleanor and she died last year so it would be perfect. I think Pearl would make a great middle name. Liora Pearl is beautiful!

I had a music teacher with this name, but she spelled it Liorah. I agree that this name is beautiful, and I plan to use it as the heroine of an upcoming novel.

Sometimes spelled Leora. The name is virtually synonymous in meaning with Orli - also popular in Israel.

Liora is actually made of two Hebrew words: "Lee" (=to me/mine) and "Or" (=light). The ending "ah" is often used in Hebrew names to make them feminine (as in "Daniela" or "Michaela"), though the form "Lior" is also used for girls (in Israel anyway). So it means not just "light" but "my light".

Liora is my Hebrew name that I picked for myself (my parents stuck me with Yaakov, which means Jacob). I love the meaning of the name for its poetic and positive qualities, and the name itself has a lyrical, unique sound.

Lovely name! Reminds me of a lyre or flower. I like it better than Lior, though both forms are nice.

I love this name and its meaning, simply beautiful. It is probably my first favorite name. I also happened to find out that this is what my aunt told my parents to name me. Bummer! I don't care though, this is what I like to be called. ;-)

By the way, it is also Hebrew for "light." Being the feminine form of Lior, which is also "light." That really makes it deLIGHTful and enLIGHTening. :)

Pros:
It's really beautiful and poetic without being ostentatious or over the top.
A few cute nickname options (Leo, Lio, Li-Li).
Easy to spell which is a plus for small children.
Not overly used or hyper-popular.
Also not extremely bizarre or weird.
Cons:
Your child *will* be called Lora, Lira, Lyra, etc...she'll have to spell it over and over for some people.
Particularly malicious children might tease by pronouncing it "Lie - ora", devolving into "liar - rah", etc as kids sometimes do. :P It'll be okay, it doesn't have any perverse or really problematic nicknames.
I think this is a lovely name for any girl, particularly if you have Jewish heritage. It's a nice name, happy, pretty, and a little sporty imo.
