My mother's name was Ora and DH and I like the name Laura but spelling it Lora makes the name more special to me. I just don't want to consider Lora if the spelling will be looked at as if her parents are idiots.
My name is Laura, so I am admittedly biased. I much prefer the "au" spelling and have always felt the different spellings -- Laura, Lora and Lara -- have (or should have) slightly but noticeably different pronunciations. But Lora is a legitimate name. Also, as a Laura, I cannot tell you how many times people have asked "is that spelled with an A or an O?" so, even though your child's name would be frequently misspelled or the spelling questioned, that is not entirely unique to the Lora spelling.
*************Siggy Warning. Loss mentioned.************
Me: 36, DH:37
Married 4/2010, TTC since 7/2011
Dx: Officially Unexplained (I have Polycystic Ovaries diagnosed via ultrasound, but few classic PCOS symptoms, he has mild MF issues. So... not issue free, but nothing so severe as to explain IF)
I also deal with post-surgical Hypothyroidism following Thyroid Cancer in 2009, but under control with Levothyroxine
4 months Clomid (thinned lining) and 10 months Letrozole (every indication that I responded perfectly)
6 failed IUIs in 2013, 3 with trigger
IVF #1 in March
2014
ER 3/21/14, 31R/21F,
12 frosties!
ET 3/26/14, 1 perfect blast transferred: BFN
FET#1 5/28/14, 2 "beautiful" early blasts transferred. BFP!!
Beta #1 (6/11/14) 798; Beta #2 (6/18/14) 7,966.
1st u/s (6/25/14) showed 2 sacs, 1 empty & 1 with a beautiful little bean doing what it needs to do!
I feel like Laura and Lora are pronounced differently. That being said, my sister's name is Laura, and my BIL always pronounces it Lora and the rest of my family says Laura. I don't think I'm making any sense here, but I guess my point is that I feel there are different pronunciations.
While I prefer Laura, I do know a Lora and it is an appropriate spelling (though likely will require her to spell her name to strangers like Drs. offices). Wonderful way to incorporate your mom:)
