I prefer [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. Adorable for a little girl and professional and feminine for a grown women. It’s so sweet 
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]. It’s classic and sweet. Works for a little girl or an adult. [name_f]Norma[/name_f], [name_f]Noreen[/name_f], and [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] all have an old lady feel for me. [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] is okay but nowhere near as beautiful as [name_f]Nora[/name_f].
I voted for [name_f]Nora[/name_f] - Classic and fresh! [name_f]Norma[/name_f] and [name_f]Noreen[/name_f] read old lady to me, and [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] and [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] seem 80’s!
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]. Sweet, classic and simple.
[name_f]Norma[/name_f] feels dated and just makes me think of [name_f]Norma[/name_f] [name_m]Bates[/name_m].
[name_f]Noreen[/name_f] also feels dated and I hate the spelling.
[name_f]Nadine[/name_f] and [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] are both nice but they just don’t hold a candle to the lovely [name_f]Nora[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Nadia[/name_f]. It is more elegant sounding to me. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is alright, and I don’t like the others.
Too many Noras lately. [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] is a bit more exotic, athletic, beautiful!
[name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] and [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] are sweet. I have known I couple of [name_f]Nadia[/name_f]'s, it has a fresh, adventurous feel. I knew a [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] growing up, and she was lovely. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is gorgeous too!
I’m going to go against the grain and vote for [name_f]Nadine[/name_f]. It’s very pretty and unexpected. [name_f]Nora[/name_f], while lovely, is becoming overused to my ear. [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] is also nice, but [name_f]Norma[/name_f] and [name_f]Noreen[/name_f] both still kinda feel like middle-aged aunts who knit you [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] sweaters. Not that that’s a bad thing, just maybe not great for a baby.
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]! It’s so pretty and you don’t hear it very often.
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]! I love the flourish of Eastern European/Russian flair, and I love that it means “hope”. Plus, I think it has more nn possibilities than the other options ([name_f]Dia[/name_f], [name_f]Addy[/name_f], etc.). [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is my second favorite, but I like other -ora names more ([name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Eliora[/name_f]/[name_f]Elora[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], etc.). Lately I just haven’t been feeling [name_f]Nora[/name_f] like I used to (I used to think I was crazy for loving it, that it was really old-fashioned, but so cool at the same time. And for a short while [name_f]Norah[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] was on my short list. But I just feel “meh” about it now. I wish I could get excited about it, but I just can’t seem to.).
So [name_f]Nadia[/name_f], then [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. The others don’t really appeal to me at all. [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] is okay, but I used to know a little girl my sister’s age whose name was the [name_m]French[/name_m] Nadege, which I think I like more (even though it’s less streamlined and a tad more awkward to say).
