I certainly prefer Thora to Nora, although they are both lovely in their own right.

WHAT a meaning! I love it!

Didn't know this was related to Thor! Adds strength and power to a soft-sounding, underused name.

If I didn't associate this with Thor (of the superhero nature) I would really love it. It's like Nora and Cora but less popular, very soft sounding and unusual.

I really like this name too, though I wouldn't use it as a first. Maybe a middle though.

Agreed! It reminds me of Arthur's grandmother on the children's television show, but I still really like it. Reminds me of names like Berenice.
