How many Nora's do you know IRL?

That.Just.Happened · April 2013

After a long a battle trying to find name for our daughter that was both Arabic (DH's request) and not overly foreign sounding (my request) I think we have settled on Nora. It isn't my typical style, but I have always loved this name and it's the only one we can agree on.

My only concern with it is I worry it has become quite popular. It seems to fall into the same category as Emma, Ava, Ella, etc. and I know those have all become super-popular.

So, my question is, how many of you are using this name yourselves or know kids born in the last 5ish years with this name? If it matters, I live in the southeast.

Thanks!

I only know of one Nora under the age of 5- or actually at all.

My daughter (4) is the only Nora(h) I knew until Monday at the mall- I met a baby named Nora (about 10mo). I don't think its that popular.

Look on Name Nerds too. It condenses the spellings of names into one rank so you can see

Only 1 and she's 52.

austenfan919 · April 2013

I don't know any. I know someone who picked it as her girl name, but she's having a boy.

2 under 5. I don't think it will reach Ella level though.

One of my BFFs is Nora...but she is definitely not under 5. I don't know any little girls named Nora.

IRL I know one Nora and she is around 5 or 6 years old.

Nice name!

Zimger · April 2013

I know one Nora who is in her mid 30's.

caramia582 · April 2013

I know three (one isn't born yet but it's the name they've chosen).

CeCe8579 · April 2013

I know one Nora who is in her 40's. I think it is more popular on this board then IRL but I could be wrong. Check the SSA site for general popularity and popularity in your area. I definitely don't think it will become as popular as Emma, Ava or Ella. Wit

Me too

Mrs.G123 · April 2013

I know a one year old and a few 3 year olds. It was also my gma's name.

sweetpea2003 · April 2013

I know three. All of them are under 5.

banannapeach85 · April 2013

I know one Nora, and she's a high school student.

But I know it's a relatively common name. It might have skipped our region. (I live on the Georgia coast, FYI.)

gutsymama · April 2013

I don't know any Noras of any age, but it was in our top 2 if this baby had been a girl.

LadyXaverian · April 2013

Nora is DD's nickname (for Elinor). I've met one other little Nora who is a year older than mine.

ashbasler · April 2013

I know three. One is 4, one is under a year old and another is in her 70's.

I don't know any Nora's.

amberrrjade · April 2013

The only Nora I know if is Nora Jones, the singer.

Lue94 · April 2013

I see this name so much on this board but I don't know any irl.

lindslalala · April 2013

None. But it is high on my list for future girl names.

JayJay1212 · April 2013

Zero under five. One who is probably 9 now?

macchiatto · April 2013

I know several online friends but IRL ... I really only can think of one, who spells it Norah, and is in the 1st grade. I might know one or two others but I'm drawing a blank.

ksf13 · April 2013

I have a friend who's 6 month old is named Norah, but she's the only one I know. We're in the southeast too.

BLPL101 · April 2013

None

JMU_Bride09 · April 2013

I don't know a single Nora.

janneann1127 · April 2013

I know two. Both children born in the last 2 years. I think it is definitely jumping in popularity (I feel like I hear it all the time) but probably not up to Emma/Ava/Isabella status.

lisab613 · April 2013

I really like it and I don't know anyone who has used the name.

rubysue267 · April 2013

Two - one who is almost a year old and the other who is another mom at DS's daycare (late 20s/early 30s)

Littledeer84 · April 2013

My DD is Nora. And I know of another one through FB who is a toddler, and also a woman in her mid 20s. The funny thing is I can think of at least 3 other Nora's who are daughters of bumpies who frequent my home board. For some reason it is very popu
