This was our shortlist that we were going to spend the next few weeks whittling down. Now we need to to it in a rush. Thoughts please. We want a strong name that’s unusual without being weird.

Eliza
Nina
Ariana
Tessa
Frieda
Alma
Theodora
Isadora

Nina Elizabeth

(A famous Isadora was Isadora Duncan who was strangled when her scarf got caught in a car door. It's what I always think of when I hear the name)

Isadora June

Nina Elizabeth.

Isadora is such a mouthful, she'll end up as Izzy along with all the Isabels and Isabellas.

Or how about just Dora as you had that on two of your names?

Thank you for your comments.

We have narrowed it down to:

Isadora June (June is a family name)
Nina Elizabeth (also a family name)

Out of those two what do you think?

Sophronia · 25/01/2019 19:52

Nina. I like Frida and Isidora too (these spellings)

MollyHuaCha · 25/01/2019 19:52

Tessa or Ariana

aliceelizaloves · 25/01/2019 19:39

Eliza or Theodora

Banana1979 · 25/01/2019 19:13

I think Eliza is v common. I like ariana..Dont kmow anyone of that name except the singer. Theodora is very greek ( i speak greek) theo means God. Isodora is the most unusual and very nice..i like the shortened name dora too
So 4 me either ariana or isodora , tessa is a no no 4 me. I live next to a street called Alma road so im not fond of it as a human name lol

TheLovelyOtherDinosaur · 25/01/2019 19:06

Isadora, Theodora or Nina. Tessa is lovely too.

comebacksoonsusan · 25/01/2019 19:02

I really like isadora and Theodora.

Nina is sweet but I know of four under 5 round my way. Could be coincidence.

IdblowJonSnow · 25/01/2019 18:34

Congratulations!

I love Nina, Tessa or Isadora.

Discobabe98 · 25/01/2019 16:50

Congrats Grin Theodora nn Theo. It’s my first choice for a girl. Suppose you could also shorten to Thea or Teddy

17caterpillars1mouse · 25/01/2019 16:49

Eliza, Tessa, Theodora or Isadora. Scrap the rest and trt each out to see which fits.

I think my favourite is Isadora but not sure it would suit every child

PippilottaLongstocking · 25/01/2019 16:47

I think Isadora is a good middle ground between Eliza and Theodora so a bit of both or your choices

Yulebealrite · 25/01/2019 16:44

Nina is lovely
