I personally think it makes more sense for Norah to be a standalone name. I have only known "just" Nora's... Never meet a Nora(h) who was really Eleanor. Either is acceptable though!

It's a beautiful name! woodentulip on "When you hear "Nora" do you assume it's a nickname for Eleanor?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-hear-nora-do-you-assume-its-a-nickname-for-eleanor/page/2#post-1548064 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 12:43:09 +0000 woodentulip 1548064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My DD4 is Nora and we have never been asked if it was a nickname! My brother named one of his gals Eleanor and nobody has ever mentioned that they could/should call her Nora(h)! We love the name!

If we ever have a daughter, I think we'd go with Norah. Definitely a stand alone name in my book. bunnylovesbear on "When you hear "Nora" do you assume it's a nickname for Eleanor?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-hear-nora-do-you-assume-its-a-nickname-for-eleanor/page/2#post-1547990 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 11:36:39 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1547990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I definitely think of it as a stand-alone name - I would never make the connection to Eleanor.

I love Norah Jones and that is what I think of. Nora without the "h" does seem like a nickname to me. pmerr on "When you hear "Nora" do you assume it's a nickname for Eleanor?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-hear-nora-do-you-assume-its-a-nickname-for-eleanor/page/2#post-1546254 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 11:33:08 +0000 pmerr 1546254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never associated them.
