I like Nora the best. I prefer the spelling Norah for some reason...Both DS and I have silent H's in our name, so maybe it just feels more 'right' for me?
Mirabel is also pretty. A solid second choice IMO.
I don't like Madison. Too 90's. Too trendy. Blech.
All of this. I have a silent H in my name too - so I tend to prefer it.

I agree that Madison was too 90's trendy, but Nora is fairly trendy now. In the last three years I've known five Nora's born (although some of them named them Elinor with the nn Nora).
Love Nora, but prefer Norah spelling. Mirabel is nice and would be my second choice. I used to like Madison years ago, but it is too trendy for my liking now.

Nora is NMS. I think it's kinda boring and I'm tired of hearing it. Mirabel, on the other hand, I love. Madison is cute but has been very popular for so long. I'd go with Mirabel.

Re: Nora or..
Nora, hands down. No question about it.
All of this. I have a silent H in my name too - so I tend to prefer it.

Agree
Like Mirabel the most.
Hate -son names for girls.
I'm a fan of Mirabel, but I also like Nora. I live in Madison, and it's a great city, but I like it less as a girl's name.
Good luck!
Same thought.
I agree with the above!
