We were set on Evangeline for dd2 but just stumbled across Isadora and we both love it. Just don’t know which one we love more so opinions welcome

I prefer Isadora.

Evangeline just makes me think of American evangelical Christians.

Evangeline is beautiful.
Isadora is a pretty name but makes me think of Isadora Duncan and her grisly death

Isadora! Evangeline is a bit urgh.

Well maybe I’m biased. But isadora is fab!

Evangeline.

Another vote for Evangeline!

Evangeline for me, it's just beautiful.

I prefer Evangeline!

I prefer the Isidora spelling.

Isadora is gorgeous, I particularly love Dora as a shortening.

I think they’re both lovely names but I favour Isadore which I think is traditional but chic ( rather than cute). It also sounds a little bit bohemian and creative too although I’m probably influenced by meeting a theatrical set designer with that name.
