Seeing them all listed like that, and having to choose just one, I was really torn between Lorelei Thomas and Nora Thomas! ;)


My vote finally went to Lorelei, both because it's always seemed the name for you and because it varied the syllables (Nora having two the same as Thomas). Now if it were Eleanor or Leanora Thomas I might have had more trouble, but that helped tip the scales. LOL

Ps. Now that I've mentioned it, Leanora is a nice option for you (IF you end up not using Lorelei). You've got the L name with the "ore/ora" sound AND Nora as a nn, quite effectively combining two of your names ... well, the sounds of them anyway. I know Lorelei had some deeper-rooted meaning as well. Just a thought, though! ;)

Would you spell Nora like this or Norah? I lean toward the first. The "H" seems a bit pointless to me. But then again Norah Jones seems to make it work! Of course, the same could be said for Nora Ephron. :)

I know, I'm really torn over these names too! Why did I have to have such a good list of baby names? LOL They all seem to fit very well with our ln and with the style I'm looking for. I love them all!

Yes, Lorelei has some significance. My family is from Austria (I'm half Austrian actually). Lorelei is technically a Germanic name but of course most Austrian names are Germanic and that is the language my family spoke. I believe some of them may have lived in Germany at one time too.

Yes, I remembered the special connection with Lorelei (one of the reasons it's always seemed so perfect for you, besides being a simply lovely name to begin with). ;)


I actually love Nora(h) either way. I love the simplicity of Nora, especially if/when used as a nn (where the H would certainly seem unnecessary), but I also agree that Norah seems more "complete" for the stand-alone form. Really, this is one that works equally well with either spelling. Just a matter of preference. I don't even know which I'd use myself as a given name, though I'd use Nora if it were a nn.


Guess that probably isn't much help, other than to tell you to use whichever you prefer. LOL
