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??

Liberty/Libby.

I also thought Wizadora Grin

Liberty. Isadora sounds like a stuck up horsey bitch, sorry.

Isadora

Of the two, Libby. I don't like Isadora - it's too long and too frilly without being pretty and I don't like Issy or Dora (sorry Aunty Dora).

Liberty is a nice name for a shop or printed fabric but not for a girl.

Isadora :)
It's just sounds a bit more grown up on a CV

I vote for Liberty ...would be on my list but sounds wrong with my surname

Thanks @pixieN
Yes, just one can really ruin a name for you can't it!

I love both! I'll vote for Isadora.

PixieN · 18/06/2020 19:14

I’d go for Isadora - nickname Dora. Teacher here with negative associations with the name Liberty/Libby!

Much prefer Libby - Isadora is a bit frilly and fancy for me. I'm also of an age where wizadora (an old kids TV program) springs to mind when I hear it! Probably won't be a problem with her peers though.
