My Irish family always uses the h


Hmm maybe it's a regional thing my family is from Co Fermanagh where do yours live?

My dd has a name ending in /h/ that can also end in /a/. So, I vote for Norah.

Norah is a much better standalone name than Nora IMO. Nora looks/sounds more like a nickname for Eleanor.



+1 Norah is a standalone name, Nora a nickname in my head


Nora/h is a nickname for Honora/h, a popular name across Ireland several generations ago.


Also, Noreen.


^^meant Noreen is also an Irish nn for Honora that became a standalone.

It's always been Norah in our family for about 4 generations, so I had Norah on my list -- but, I had boys.
