Isadora or Aurora

[ladyflapperflop]

I really love both these names. I love their mythological connection especially.
I'm not 100% sure about using them, however.

Are they just too long and girly?
Will they always be shortened?
Will everyone just think of Disney when they hear Aurora rather than the Roman Goddess?

Which one do you prefer and why?
Does anyone have an Aurora or an Isadora who can comment?!

I prefer Aurora - first thougth was a children's book I had as a child, Disney never occurred to me

Isadora rminds me of Isadora Duncan, who dies in aterrible accident, didnt;l she?

Love Isadora, not Aurora so much

i prefer Isadora

She died when the long, elegant scarf she was wearing got caught in her car wheel and her neck was broken when the wheel rolled forward iirc.. Her children also died very tragically, but separately (the car they were in rolled into the Seine).

But I love Isadora -- much preferable to Aurora, which is Disney to me now.

Aurora is a lovely name :) I also like Aurelia.

Isadora is a computer program here

I love Isadora. Not fond of Aurora but do ike Dawn! I think Aurora always sounds like somebody chewing toffee or something.

I LOVE Isadora - such a beautiful name

Looks like Isadora is more popular here!

Does that mean you all think it is useable?

I don't know about a Disney Aurora, who is she?
I had a lovely book as a child, with an Aurora called Rory.

Prefer Isadora, but very connotations which would put me off

Isadora is a beautiful name.I am seriously considering it for a future daughter.

Aurora is pretty,but has been spoilt by Disney.I'd consider it as a middle name

Theodora is in a similar vein

Love Isadora - definitely usable. I know a baby Isadora, and she wears it well.

Aurora not so keen.

Isadora is far easier to say.

nn Dora?

I love Theodosia too.

Aurora is a tongue twister for many people, and sounds dreadful when said Awowa.

Isadora is far easier to say and very pretty and unusual.

A few more names ending with ora

Aldora
Cora
Flora
Pandora
Sonora
Maura
Meliora
Callidora
Laura
Annora
Theodora
Honora
Menora

I have an Aurora and have had nothing but smiles at it.

I had no idea about 'Disney' when I chose it, she was born at Dawn and is our little light in dark times so it suits her perfectly!

Isadora is still in the lead then!
I find Aurora v pretty but a bit hard to say!
