What do you think? I know there's the dora the explorer thing but that really doesn't bother me. You can think of associations with lots of names?! I have an Eliza and Florence already and think it would go well. Any thoughts?! Thanks

I LOVE Dora. It was my first choice for dd1 but dp didn't like it, and I kind of lost my nerve because my wider family all pulled faces.

I wish I'd fought for it now - dd looks much more like a Dora than the name she finally got.

It could also be a nn for Theodora, giving you the option of Thea as well. Though i would have kept it as is.

I love your other names, but, I cannot get the Explorer out of my mind when I hear Dora. That said she isn't the worst association a name could have.

Lovely.

Dora the Explorer won't be on telly forever, and its a really pretty name.

I love it!
Have to say that I didn't even think of Dora the Explorer but instead immediately thought of Dick and Dora, the main characters in the 1970s reading scheme used at my primary school Grin

It does go well with your other names I agree. But (showing my age) I can't get past the Dick and Dora thing...

How about Dorothy? nn Dottie

No no no, it has to be Dora! Have a heart, OP, do it for me!
