DH and I really struggling to agree on a girls name.

We both love Isadora and Liberty/Libby nn.

For me, Isadora edges it. For him, Libby.

Which one do you prefer??

Isadora gets my vote

user1493494961 · 18/06/2020 21:45

Isadora is lovely.

Isadora is beautiful (and autocorrects to Is adorable on my phone - could be a nickname!) Love Dora for short.

Libby was the bully in Sabrina TTW wasn’t she? I like Liberty but prefer Isadora. (Sorry if people have said these points already - haven’t rtt.)

Liberty

Liberty is beautiful

Isadora is hideous

17caterpillars1mouse · 18/06/2020 21:21

Definitely Isadora

Liberty is a very much a name a teenage mother would choose her - along with Demi and Chardonnay (obviously lots of teenage mothers choice lovely names)

Liberty

Liberty. I like Isadora but its ruined for me by Wizadora. I know that isn't a current reference though so it wouldn't be a school bully type issue. I just can't get past it personally.

Liberty

Orphlids · 18/06/2020 21:12

I’m afraid I think of Liberty as being rather downmarket, too. Isadora sounds more jolly hockey sticks so I’d go for that.

Ostagazuzulum · 18/06/2020 21:11

Isadora is beautiful

wewillmeetagain · 18/06/2020 21:11

Love libby, but I'm biased it's dd name 😀

CherryPavlova · 18/06/2020 21:10

I rather like Liberty but really dislike Libby. I think I’d engineer T or Bertie as a nickname.
The Isadora’s I know are a bit Morge and not scintillating company.

SoMuchToBits · 18/06/2020 21:08

Isadora. Lovely!

Blursula · 18/06/2020 21:03

Isadora definitely. Lovely name

Whatsyourflava · 18/06/2020 21:02

Isadora will most likely be Izzy and the name blends in with all the Isabelles
I love Liberty though

merryhouse · 18/06/2020 20:57

I like Liberty - but not Libby. (Also I'm never keen on giving a child a name you don't actually intend to use.)

Isadora is a bit tedious.

Lavenderblues · 18/06/2020 20:55

I find Liberty a little 'downmarket'.

Isadora is more classy imo.

Whatsyourflava · 18/06/2020 20:53
  • bit
Whatsyourflava · 18/06/2020 20:53

Liberty is beautiful- one of my favourite names

I find Isadora a but downmarket and too frilly. Sounds like Isballe and Dora just mashed together and hoping for the best

2007Millie · 18/06/2020 20:52

Libby

Lavenderblues · 18/06/2020 20:50

Isadora! Much more classy.

Really don't like Liberty at all, sorry.

midsomermurderess · 18/06/2020 20:48

I like Isadora. I really dislike Libby. The Libbys I've met have been simpering and wet.

@123dancewithme
That's my concern if I'm honest. I don't like any other 'virtue' names (Hope, Faith etc)

Isadora. Liberty is a bit chavvy for lack of a better word.
