What do you think about these and other "dora" names?

I sense a theme here...

They all sound very Harry Potter’esque to me. And ‘Dora’ will always be ‘Dora the Explorer’ to me.

I saw Menodora / Minodora on a babyname website and thought that I was actually rather lovely... Blush I'm just curious / wondering whether they're a bit too "unusual" (or creative...)?
I also like Dora.

First 2 ok, second two definitely in twee over-flowery territory.

A bit over the top for my tastes

They're not my style at all but then I don't like anything too fancy and these are super fancy.
