To H, or not to H

Mae208 · June 2013

So we are pretty set on the name Norah, and I can't decide which spelling to go with. My mom keeps suggesting Nora, but I almost feel as though the name looks incomplete without the H at the end. Thoughts?

I vote for Norah

dancedance1 · June 2013

I like the h.

I feel like it looks incomplete otherwise too.

kaylynne · June 2013

I prefer Norah as a standalone and Nora as nn (for Eleanor or whatever)

I think it's a nice name and both spellings are fine. But I personally prefer Nora. I like Sara instead of Sarah too... So that's just my style I guess.

I think it is so much nice with an H

I am a "Sarah" and yet I prefer the look of Nora over Norah. Not sure why. Perhaps because "Norah" looks strikingly like "Noah" at first glance.

This.

I love Nora - it looks so pretty. The H seems so unnecessary and, like a PP said, at a glance it looks like Noah.

emm57 · June 2013

I prefer Nora.

Belle3184 · June 2013

I agree with you. It looks incomplete without the H. It isn't wrong, but certainly looks better with the h, IMO.

nearly_klo · June 2013

I prefer the H, obviously! I think it looks incomplete without it. I also prefer 'ie' spellings over y spellings Katie vs Katy, Nellie vs Nelly.

led2009 · June 2013

Imuch prefer the h because like you said it looks incomplete without the h.

Me too. I'm a Sarah, but I have a Nora. It's short for Elinor.

exactly this

blessedgreen · June 2013

I also prefer the look of Nora.

I like both though

Mochadoodle · June 2013

Does anyone else feel like we get asked this question everyday? I don't mind, it's just funny.

OP, I prefer it spelled Nora.

PnkBride · June 2013

I prefer Nora.

Yes

Esteps · June 2013

I asked this just the other day. It seemed like a pretty even split for Nora vs Norah. But I think after reading more and more about how popular this name is getting we are setting it aside for now

BulgariHeart · June 2013

I prefer Nora.

chuicafina · June 2013

Nora is in our top 2 and we would go with no H. I prefer it that way, but obviously this seems pretty split.

Liz4444 · June 2013

I had the exact same feeling and my mother and I had the same conversation with my DD Lilah. I also started the same thread 2 years ago! We went with the h.

rolIo · June 2013

Nora looks incomplete to me.

KallieandJustin · June 2013

I prefer Nora. The H makes it look like Noah.

I don't have a strong opinion either way, but I am of the opinion that your mother got to spell your name the way she wanted, so you could get to spell your child's name the way you want.

As long as you don't add any superfluous "y"s.

To H, or not to H
