    This is my sister's name! From my understanding it is a legitimate variation of Laura. I like it, but I am very accustomed to it.

    I wouldn't look at the name and think the parents were illiterate; if you did Loura or something, maybe, but Lora isn't unheard of :) I like it!

    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.

    I am familiar with this spelling, I believe it's pronounced the same as 'Laura', and LOVE the meaning of this spelling to your family!
    If being a math nerd is wrong, I don't wanna be right!

    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:)

    I know both Lauras and one Lora. I think you should definitely use the "o" spelling since it would be honoring your mother.

    As a Laura, I'd stick with this spelling. Lora will constantly be misspelled.
