Asked the same question about Margot, just trying to get a feel for the name.

Isadora: Strong-willed, brave, pretty, creative, European?, tinkely, clever, independent

I’m pretty sure it’s going to be Margot! Thanks for your help everyone

Pretentious princess.

Sorry.

MollyHuaCha · 02/09/2018 08:11

I like the name.

A particularly needless death. (Isadora Duncan, too.) Also, a tragic personal life despite her professional achievement — both her young children died in 1913 when their car plunged into the Seine.

Dark hair, serious face, musical and arty. A ‘leader’ type.

Ohyesiam · 01/09/2018 23:56

Wild free and a expressive in a 1920s kind of way.
Lovely name.

My immediate thought was Isadora Duncan too. Imaginative, creative, individual and artistic.

AlexanderHamilton · 01/09/2018 23:39

Isadora Duncan. Floaty contemporary ballet.

Yes I’ve heard of Isadora Duncan’s story and although she definitely had bad luck with cars she seemed to be a very elegant, intelligent and talented woman so the connection isn’t a bad one (to me)

Isadora Duncan. She was strangled when her long scarf caught in the wheel of her car.

One with talking socks. Wizadora.

IcanMooCanYou · 01/09/2018 23:13

She's the one who can brighten up your day, doing things in her own special way. Oh and she lives with her most peculiar friends (Wizadora)

RedDwarves · 01/09/2018 23:00

Wizard.

DelilahandDaisy · 01/09/2018 22:59

My Nan’s cat. Sorry.

I have no idea what Wizadora is, am I completely out of touch Grin?

purpleandturquoise thank you for the suggestion but only considering Isadora and Margot as they’re the two names I really love after plenty deliberation

How about Isolde (pronounced Iz-ol-da)?

yikesanotherbooboo · 01/09/2018 22:01

Isadora Duncan
Talented, independent, beautiful, modern , fun

DollyDayScream · 01/09/2018 21:57

Clever, funny, a bit of a badass when she needs to be, but never unkind.

LinoleumBlownapart · 01/09/2018 21:54

My friend's little girl. She's a livewire in a good way and very inteligent and lovable. So I think it's a great name.

midsomermurderess · 01/09/2018 21:52

One with a mother determined to make her daughter stand out.

BoundByBriars · 01/09/2018 21:52

It’s a very pretty name.
