I keep coming back to this one (it's been on and off my shotlist twice) and would love to have your thoughts on it!

Love it, yes it made me think of Isadora Duncan but why is that a problem I just though ohh artistic and dramatic. Izzy is a great way to shorten it too.

I like it
it's not disimilar to DD's name

I know loads of people will think of Isadora Duncan but is that really a problem anyway?

LazyLinePainterJane · 16/07/2008 07:59

Of course, an old kids tv show that hardly anyone remembers is not a reason not to choose a name.

LazyLinePainterJane · 16/07/2008 07:57

Well, thanks to this thread I have had the Wizadora theme tune in my head for the last couple of days!

Classic but kind of dated, with the -a ending. Popular at the beginning of the last century: baby name Isadora

How about Isis?

DonnyLass · 15/07/2008 23:13

its fabulous and classical

if you love it go for it or you;; always regrt it

gigglewitch · 25/06/2008 22:07

I love it.

pmsl at boat tho

notasheep · 25/06/2008 22:06

another one singing wizadora we adora

Flum · 25/06/2008 22:03

\lurvvve Isadora. can't have it a boat we know got in ther first

It comes into the "trying a bit too hard" category to my mind. It's okay but not delightful enough to make up for the inevitable Isadora Duncan references.

Ah yes, I remember the Wizadora programme. This soared hundreds of places in popularity name stats last year, which makes me hope it isn't going to be trendy at some point.
I'd use nickname Dora.

Its sweet if you don't mind a thousand references to Isadora Duncan.
Love Dora as a nickname. Would like to call my next DD Dora but that bloody explorer girl is making it hard.

LavenderMist · 15/06/2008 14:31

Love it, would have liked it for a girl but
a)didn't work with surname
b)had a boy!

thirtysomething · 15/06/2008 11:54

Isa is a standard abbreviation for isabelle/Isabella in France, Spain, italy and very very pretty IMHO - have nown loads of very chic French and Spanish girls by that name, so yes, a vote for Isadora with Isa for short

findtheriver · 15/06/2008 11:50

It's a fab name! She can be Izzy(without having the sooo overdone Isobel or Isabella) or Dora.

Mummyandi · 15/06/2008 11:47

First thing that came to mind was same as branflake. Isadora we adore her. But the show isn't on any more so maybe you would be ok

branflake81 · 15/06/2008 07:30

Isadora, we adore her....

Don't like it, tbh.

Sounds like you're trying too hard to be different.

lotspot · 14/06/2008 22:51

makes me want to go 'Isadora-ble'

goes back to hide in corner

UnderRated · 14/06/2008 22:23

I know a little Isadora - never shortened to anything. Her sister is Viviana

dizzydixies · 14/06/2008 22:13

I love it too but can't have it because of our surname

love the nn Isa

WelliesAndPyjamas · 14/06/2008 21:03

LaDiDaDi · 14/06/2008 20:57

cosima · 14/06/2008 20:56
