What do you think about this name?

I think it's lovely, one of my favourite names.

GrizzlebertGrumbledink · 30/07/2015 16:12

It makes the Wizadora theme tune play in my head...

Bellsnwhistles · 30/07/2015 16:14

What a lovely name!

Asuperwittyquip · 30/07/2015 16:21

The same as grizzlebert but once you get past that, or if you have no idea who or what Wizadora is then its a lovely name.

Wishful80sMontage · 30/07/2015 16:22

I like it but yes it does remind me of wizadora :)

LagartijaNick · 30/07/2015 16:23

Isadora Duncan, dancer who died when her scarf got caught in the wheels of a car she was travelling in.

MamaLazarou · 30/07/2015 16:28

Isadora, we adore her! Sorry, it's Wizadora for me, too.

HelenF35 · 30/07/2015 17:26

Wizadora for me also I'm afraid.

Letsallgotobed · 30/07/2015 17:29

Makes me wonder when Tatty Bogle will be popping in

Lunastarfish · 30/07/2015 17:31

It's a pretty name but again I now have the Wizadora song stuck in my head....

CityDweller · 30/07/2015 17:36

Makes me think of someone saying 'it's-a-door-a' in a fake Italian accent!

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 30/07/2015 17:57

Awful sorry.

Dismalfuckers · 30/07/2015 17:59

Beautiful, but a lot of pressure - got to be willowy and graceful, with a perfect profile Smile

Oddpet · 30/07/2015 18:20

Yep Wizadora here too, nn Dora the explorer?! Sorry I can't get past those associations Blush

aoife24 · 30/07/2015 18:23

I think it's lovely. I've never heard of Wizadora.

KleineDracheKokosnuss · 30/07/2015 18:25

I love it.nearly used it for Dd.

Marcipex · 30/07/2015 18:29

Lovely name.

sweetpeame · 30/07/2015 18:47

Like the "Isa" part but not the "Dora", so it's a no from me. Starts off pretty but ends badly!

reuset · 30/07/2015 18:55

It's ok, but I'm not wild about it. And I know it's from a proper name but it always looks messy and cobbled together like an historic building with later additions and alterations.

reuset · 30/07/2015 18:58

Duncan wouldn't put me off, though. Not many people nowadays can be aware of her or her tragic life (she lost her children in a freak accident before that etc) or her contribution to modern dance

villainousbroodmare · 30/07/2015 19:02

I like it. I know a v nice Isadore (male).

IsadoraQuagmire · 30/07/2015 21:47

I thought everyone would know all about Isadora Duncan (and, of course, that's why Lemony Snicket's Quagmire Triplets are named Isadora and Duncan)
Never heard of Wizardora however...

HolidayHeidi · 30/07/2015 21:52

Makes me think of isadora Duncan but for what she brought to ballet as opposed to her tragic end. I like it....I think.

Sophronia · 30/07/2015 23:05

I prefer Isidora, which is the original spelling.

Churchillian · 30/07/2015 23:12

Isn't Bjork's daughter called Isadora?
