We are expecting DC2, a girl, in a few months and we currently have a long short list! A lot of them involve the sounds 'dora' or 'ad' in some way and now DH has suggested combining the two and calling her Adora.
It is an actual name, not something we just made up, I like the sound, I like how it looks written down. I love every potential shortening I can think of - Addie, Dora, Dorry, Dorie but it seems maybe a little cheesy. A bit 'We adore her so we called her Adora, isn't she adorable?', perhaps a tad self indulgent?
What would be your immediate thought if you were told about a baby called Adora?
