Hey all. I was listening to Bob&Tom and they were talking to a comedian's wife whose name is Nora. They (tactlessly!!) said that Nora was an old person's name.

WDYT?

(The only Nora's I can think of are Nora Ephram and Nora from One Life to Live).

I also know a toddler named Zora.

I like Nora! There is also Norah Jones... and my friend has a cat named Nora, lol.

Nora/Norah are both really pretty to me, although I think of Norah as being a younger person's name (not sure why). Zora is a character in one of my favourite novels (On Beauty by Zadie Smith!) but I'm not too keen on the character so therefore, not the name either. :/

I like Nora as a name on its own or as a nick name for Eleanor.

i think of nora from "a doll's house" by henrik ibsen, so i think of a young woman...

I think of Life with Derek...lol.
I don't find it an old person's name at all.

I love Nora. It's at the top of my list.

I do like Zora too, but it kinda makes me think Zorro. I prefer Zara.
