Isadora

[mammabear4]

Opinions please?? Dora for a nn!

I love Dora. But I do instantly think wizadora

I like Dora.

But not Isadora.

Sorry but I immediately think "wizadora" in fact I now have the theme tune stuck in my head. . Dora is nice could you use it as a name in its own right? Xx

I bloody loved that theme tune

Agreed about Wizadora - was on telly mid 90s when I was 6/7/8ish I think, also Isadora Duncan was the actress who died in the 1920s from being strangled by her scarf in an open top car (nice)...
However! DD is 5 days old and I think we're set on Isadora, it is a beautiful name and Dora is short and sweet, and I think knowing of those two connotations and still loving it and not caring has confirmed that we're going to go for it - her generation won't know of Wizadora and if they did it's a bit of a feeble name calling point. So she is named!!! :)

I prefer the spelling Isidora, since it is the feminine form of Isidore. Plus Isadora has 'sad' in it.

Like the full name, hate Dora

In that case Kitten overlord I'm obviously VERY young too!!

I like it.

I love Isadora and Dora! Great choice! Uncommon, feminine and soft, just lovely!

Nice. Also like Adora.

I really like it!

love it!

Love it! If Dora doesn't work out as a nn she can always use Izzy/Issy.

I love it too! (never heard of Wizardora )

Good choice OP!

Lovely!

FWIW I'm not sure the manner of someone's death should be the defining consideration. Duncan was an acclaimed and talented actress.

Welcome Isadora - great name! Mine is three now...

I think of scarf strangulation.

Apols Ms Duncan for defining your life by your rather icky death.

That's me told

Dora is my favourite name, but I don't love any of the longer forms! I think I'd go for Dorothea.

Arsenic - wasn't Isadora Duncan a ballet dancer? I thought she went to the then Soviet Union and opened a dance school.

Anyway, I think it is a lovely name good choice OP.
