Would This Be Weird

I would just think of the movie Nick and Nora's infinate playlist ... but I do like it. Or you can go with Madelynn Nora or Noralynn Nora for short!

If you like the name Nora name her Nora. For all you know he'll grow up to marry a Nora and you'll end up with a Nick & Nora anyway (true story-- my mom and SIX of her cousins ALL married men named David-- which is why I laugh when someone says that someone "stole" their baby name and now they can't use it because they can't have two "X"s in the family)

Actually, Nick & Nora goes back to the 30s-40s. The Thin Man series was my first encounter with the names! Excellent movies, even 70 years later!

It's also a line of Mystery novels, I love them both. I think you should name them what you want.

love Nora... When my sis was first born, people thought she was named after an obscure 70's actress that is long since retired. It would have been sad if that held my mom back from using that name, since the name hasn't been identified with the actress in a long while.

I'm so sorry....but yes...I think it would be odd...not that that's always a BAD thing! :)

Go with Nora! There are a million and a half Madelynn, Madison, Madisyn, Madeline, Madelyn, and several more spellings out there!

Ok, I'm showing my age here but my first thought was "The Thin Man" starring William Powell and Myrna Loy - then if you get/have a dog you'll have to name it Asta. I had no idea there was a clothing line. Seriously tho, name your baby whatever you feel comfortable with. Go thru what I call the "name game" and make sure it sounds good with the middle and last name. Be sure and check out what her initials will be too. Sometimes the combinations can be bad. Good luck!!

Haha! People probably will ask you about it (I have heard of it) but I wouldn't worry about it. Nora is a cute name! I have a friend who named her kids Luke and Owen, like the Wilson brothers...she didn't do it on purpose either but a lot of people ask her about it and she just rolls her eyes!

Never heard of the clothing line - I thought you were referring to the couple from those old detective movies (Nick and Nora and their dog Asta). There was also a more recent movie called Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. You might get a few comments here and there, but I'm not sure how many people would make the connection.

I've never heard of Nick and Nora... and 10 years from now it probably wont be a big deal either. I love the name Nora, I have a good friend by that name. Plus I love Norah Jones music ;)

Nora is a sweet name! Not hard to say or spell and not too common. And sooo many options for a middle name! I love it, it's precious.

I LOVE it! Not weird--super cute! Congrats!

I think its super cute. I knew a brother and sister that were from Europe- Goran and Gordona- that's weird.

I haven't ever heard of the clothing line. I've done daycare for 20+ years and have had plenty of Madelynn's but no Nora's. I'd go with Nora! and Nick and Nora sound good together too!

In my family we are Joshua, Jessica, and Joseph. No clothing lines or anything to go with it, but my mom had a thing for J's I guess. I've never heard of the clothing line, but I'd say go for it. I know lots of families that use the same letter for all the kids...

No, not weird. I knew a brother and sister (Australian born with Eastern European background) called Dragon and Dragona. Nick and Nora is cute.

Go for it cause in the end it is what feels right to you that matters the most. My husband and I are both C names. We decided our first child who would go by his middle name would have a D name. Then when we got pregnant with our second son we decided another D name would fit our family. We love it even if some family didnt like it at the time.

I think of that movie nick and Nora and I happen to love that movie! I love it. I too have a nick and I liked Nathalie but my husband vetoed it. I just couldn't think of many girl names starting with N. Nadia was the only other one I could think if and I don't like that name. We went with madisyn ( I got creative with the spelling) . I love madelynn too. I have a nick and Madi, you could too :) :) good luck love!

Adorable! Not weird at all! Super cute! Congrats?

If you love the name Nora (I do, by the way!) then go with it. Think into the future - their names won't always be linked together once they're adults. Some people might not even notice. I've actually never heard of Nick and Nora! On a side note, my next door neighbors are Melissa and Doug. But they're a married couple, so their names will always be linked! The first time I heard it I definitely thought of the toy company. Now it doesn't cross my mind at all (unless I read posts like yours!)

I think Nick and Nora sound great together! I have never heard of that clothing line actually. My kids are named Hayden and Hope so I don't mind alliteration names! I do love the name Madelynn and how you have chosen to spell it. I think you should go with whatever you feel you like the most!
HTH,
A.

I think it would be fine. My husband and his ex-wife named their first-born son the same as him but then called him by the middle name (Joseph) so he's always been Joey. Then second-born son was named Jesse because she just really liked the name. This was early-mid 90s and they really weren't thinking anything of it until people started saying, "Hey, like Uncle Joey and Uncle Jesse on Full House!" *insert eye roll here* But you don't hear that anymore now!

I like it. Go for it. A lot of people use the same initials when naming their children. Look at the Dugars. :)

It's such a pretty name! Doesn't sound weird. I'm not up on many clothing lines...never heard of Nick and Nora. :)

I wouldn't have made that connection because I've never heard of that clothing line. So, no I don't think it would be weird. I think both are nice names, regardless.

Besides, no offense, but Madeline (and it's many butcherings) is so overdone & played out. Nora is still fresh, uncommon, and easy to say & spell.

Long before they were a clothing line, they were a cute husband and wife detective team...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025878/
One of my favorites!
I think Nick and Nora would be a cute sib set. :)

I like it. Think there is a movie called nick and noras infinite playlist.
I think those Name sounds cute.
My daughter was almost a Madelyn lol I LOVE that name

We named our son Maxim right after the magazine started. I didn't care, we went ahead with the name anyway because I loved it so much, hardly anyone noticed.

When I hear Nick and Nora I think "The Thin Man." That goes to show you
my age. Anyone in your age bracket would never get it. I never heard of
the clothes line. So I say if you like it, name your baby whatever you want
and do not worry about others. Congratulations!

Not weird! Go with what you want!!! :)

nick and nora - I like the sound of that!!

No, not weird at all. I love both names (especially Nora)!!

I don't think it would be weird.
I've never heard of the things associated that others have mentioned.

I think Nora is a lovely name. I really do.
I like Madelynn, but there are so many of them right now.
I think you should choose what you like best and what you think will suit your child best.
What others think is really irrelevant.

Just my opinion.

Hi S.-

I love the name Nora! It's pretty and sounds like a friendly, easy- going person girl's name. I have never heard of Nick and Nora, the clothing line. Based on the 20 moms that have responded, it seems like there are plenty of us who haven't heard of that clothing line. I think the two names flow so nicely together! It sounds like Nora would go great with so many middle names, too.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and best wishes!

I think both names are really cute sounding ... especially together as siblings!!

I have never heard of Nick and Nora. I like Madelynn spelled that way..

I didn't read any other answers so i'm sure I'm repeating. But when I was naming my second daughter (Amelia) I couldn't decide on anything so I wanted as many opinions as possible. I'm guessing you feel the same because you posted here. :)

My oldest daughters name is Madelyn and I am sooo in LOVE with her name. I have loved it from the second we decided on it (I was 10 weeks pg and didn't even know it was a girl yet) I love that it is a name that everyone has heard, but it isn't too common. At least not around here, there are far more Madisons than Madelyn's. I used to work at a kids gym and there was only one other Madelyn out of 800 kids. :)

I LOVE the name Nora, it came up during dd2 naming discussions, but for some reason I had my heart set on having the same number of syllables in each childs name. Their middle names don't have the same # and it kind of bothers me. :)

There was a movie called Nick and Noras Infinate Playlist. It was not a movie that will be around for a long time, so I wouldn't worry about it to much other than when she is a baby some teen and older family memebers or friends might mention it.

I have heard of the brand, but the names are still cute together, I don't think that matters much. It's not like you are naming them Gucci and Channel.

I think both names are classic, classy, and beautiful!
