I was sent a postcard today with a picture of Isadora Duncan (dancer) and thought "oh this could be a sign.."

Your thoughts please...

I love the name but I think that the whole scraf thing and the awful accident where she lost both her children might put me off a bit

Have you ever heard of Wizadora?
It was a program I watched as a kid.

I know one who is an Izzy (along with every Isabel and Elizabeth I know). Not so keen.

Can you get me Wizadora's autograph? (only joking!) I can still remember the song. People might sing it to her - theme tune

I think it's a lovely name but, even so, rather cutesy and twee. I can't imagine that any Isadora is ever going to train to be a welder, for examaple.

I wouldn't, though, be deterred by the Isadora Duncan thing because, for almost any name you chose, you could find someone with that name who came to some sort of untimely or unpleasant end.
