Norah Claire
Norah Adelle

(Rose is a family name, not just filler)

WDYT?

I think Norah Claire flows best. Norah Rose has too much R sound too close together, and Norah Adelle, with the A-ending-meets-A-beginning, is difficult to say. Family names are important, though, so if you want to use Rose, that wouldn't be awful. I just think Claire sounds better.

I'm in this boat. Norah is one of my top girl names, but my last name begins with R.

Depending on what the second letter of your last name is, it might still work. For instance, Norah Reese or Norah Rhodes can still work, whereas Norah Russell really doesn't. It's the doubled "ruh" that becomes the problem.

Okay, you had me confused for a minute there. It's Skittles who has the R last name and you're the one debating middle names. Okay. Yeah, of course Norah Crosbie sounds fine.
