Isadora or Evangeline?

We were set on Evangeline for dd2 but just stumbled across Isadora and we both love it. Just don’t know which one we love more so opinions welcome

Margot is lovely.
I like Isadora , but both names are pretty. However, about half of any primary school is now called Eve, Eva, Evangelina etc.
I'm confused about Effie, if that's the name you like, why not use it?
Margot and Effie.

marcipex I’m not sure, it just don’t feel complete to me and is much more of a nickname in my eyes. Also, thank you!

As I’ve said before (on your previous post I think) my daughter is Effie (Evelyn on bc) because I don’t like Evie. If you want her to be known as Effie, get it in early! Same with Isadora-if you want her to be Dora rather than Issie, make it known from day one!
As whole names I think I prefer Isadora but out of the nicknames I prefer Effie, so it depends which you will be using most?

Isadora is gorgeous. Lots of lovely little nicknames to be had from that too.

Dora
Dorie
Izzy
Addy

Isadorable. :o

You were totally ahead of the trend before - there were only 104 babies named Margot in England and Wales in 2014! - so I would be tempted to avoid Evangeline as it seems to be getting quite popular.

Isadora is beautiful. Not keen on Evangeline. It's the Vange sound in the middle.
I would use Dory as a nickname for a little one, so cute.

I think Isadora is lovely and grand-sounding

TatianaLarina · 22/10/2018 19:24

Prefer Isadora, hate Evangeline - sounds like vagina.

Like Juno better than either.

EvaPerron · 22/10/2018 19:27

I absolutely LOVE Isadora. Plus Evangeline, whilst pretty, is really just another little Evie once she starts Reception.

Viviviolet · 22/10/2018 20:35

tatianalarina I love Juno but feels a bit matchy with dd1’s name. I think I’ve swung back towards Isadora again
