Nora

Nora may have been forgotten for a while, but it appears that this name is gaining popularity, and not just among humans. There are various towns named Nora, but the name derives from Eleanora, which means “light” in French. The Arabic version, commonly spelled Noora, likewise means “light.” Of course, there’s Norah Jones, the sultry singer who captivated us all in the early 2000s. There’s Nora Ephron, who’s directed a few films over the years, the super-talented comic Nora Aunor, and screenwriter Nora Roberts, who created “The MacGregors trilogy.”

Hazel

Hazel has been a popular name since the turn of the twentieth century. However, parents have recently chosen the name for their baby daughters, despite the fact that it was originally intended for boys. Nowadays, we know that this is a beautiful name for a girl. The name comes from the Old English phrase haesel, which refers to a greenish-brown tint but can also refer to a tree. The most well-known Hazels are Hazel Blears, a former British politician, Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman, one of the most famous female tennis players of all time, and Hazel Scott, one of the world’s most famous Hazel pianists.
