I really like the name ora for a girl, but am interested in adding it as a second name. I am naming a daughter imy"h after female relative and was wondering if "orla" is a name. like "her light"
can u guys tell me other variations fo the name ora?

The first thought was about shmitta/orla and to me it seems odd. The second is what amother said, though I'm not sure that's what it is.

orly sounds like orally - just think before choosing it (of course many people have the name and are happy with it)
ora also has a similar sound and spelling to oral - also maybe not so pleasant if you are in an english speaking country
but again, everyone has different reactions to names

Not everyone has a dirty mind. Also, they are pronounced differently.

Orla, sounds like the piece of skin cut off for a brit. I would not ude it. Ora and Orlee are nice though.

Orla is what people are saying it is. Don't use it.
I never thought of the beautiful names Ora and Orlee as problematic, but now that people mention it, sadly it might be better to avoid these days. Who knows what kids will tease about in the decade this child will be a teenager.
I met an Ora Leah and love that name.

well you must be the one with the dirty mind because I just think the sound/meaning of the words oral, orally are not name-like or nice in english - oral medication, oral report - yes there is also another connotation but it is far from the only one
as someone just said, kids will certainly tease - but again depends on where, who, personal taste about names

Isn't Zohar a boy's name? And I wouldn't name Orla, to me it means a fruit you're not allowed to eat (in E"Y)

Orla is an absolute no, for all the reasons listed. I've NEVER heard anyone in the U.S. (and I know American Orlis) EVER have a problem with their name.
