What do you think about these and other "dora" names?

They make me think if Wizadora, although young kids won't know who that is!

I love Pandora (reminds me of Adrian Mole) and also like Theodora and Dorothea.
Minodora sounds like a deodorant Confused

@FinnegansCake love love love it to for Adrian mole alone (r.i.p Sue you legend)

I also just love Pandora for the way it sounds and the nickname potential (Pan not Box Grin)

Its a classic basically and I adore it Smile

2nd Isadora
3rd Dorothea

Don't like the others, sorry!

I have a Pandora and in 5 years I've only had one person comment on the myth. She goes by Pan (to me) but we originally chose it for it's potential shortening to Dora. As a baby she was Panda but not so much now.

Love Isadora but the Duncan connection is a little tragic, Theodora is nice too.

Its not it's

Isadora

Minodora is actually a real name, and quite used in other countries. I didn't recoil as much as other probably due to my exposure to it.
Pandora , not a big fan due to the myth.
Dorothea is quite fun, even if it looks a bit old fashioned.
The others are ok.

P.s Love Callie as a name and nn.
