  1. We choose Zora because of one of my favorite author’s and civil rights activist, Zora Neale Hurston. Also my other daughter’s name is Maya, after Maya Angelou.
    Also she will be our last baby and I thought a “Z” name would be perfect considering that’s what my parents did with their last child, they named her Zakiya.

  2. We chose this name to our daughter, because i have to sister, Zoe and Nora
    this name is a mixture of them

  3. We chose Zora because of its meaning (sunrise/dawn) and it’s uniqueness (neither of us knew of other Zora’s).

  4. I was Journaling talking to God and the name came to me. I told my husband and he loved it. Especially since it was close to Cora, his grandmother’s name.

  5. We loved the name Zora because we thought it was unique and we did not know anyone named Zora in our lives.

    What I like about the name Zora is that it’s different from all the other names such as Adalynn or another common name. What I dislike about the name is that it reminds me of Dora the Explorer’s name and I’m afraid that when she grows up people are going to make fun of her name because of Dora and how it rhymes.
