Isadora or Isolde?

[Vi0l3t]

I prefer Isadora, DH prefers Isolde so looking for your opinions. Already have a 3 year old Juno.

I prefer Isolde, pronounced Is-ol-deh

I like both but Isadora the most

Isadora mainly because Isolde may lead to a lifetime of pronunciation issues.

Isolde... Sorry OP!

Going to have to pretend this thread never existed to DH I was counting on you!

You can count on me OP. I think Isolde is really clunky whereas Isadora flows beautifully 😉

Don’t particularly like either but I’d choose Isdora. I had to google Isolde never came across it before

Not keen on Iseult/Isolde but Isadora is lovely.

I like the idea of Isolde but when I say them out loud I far prefer the sound of Isadora. It has a much lighter feel to it. Dora is quite a sweet nickname and Isa is very pretty too.

Love both!

I personally prefer Isolde, just be prepared that lots of people can't pronounce or spell it properly!

If that is important to you maybe stick with Isadora (which is fine, but not as pretty imo)

I have no idea how to pronounce Isolde

I prefer Isolde, pronounced Is-ol-deh

That is a later German version.

The original Anglo-French name is I/Yseult/Isolde ending t or d. No third syllable.

I prefer Isolde but not sure if people would struggle with pronunciation.

Isolde looks beautiful on paper but you're going to get the inevitable 'I sold her for a...' and 'Juno is older than Isolde' gags.

Only from twits. Most names can be turned unto something.

I love both but think Isolde has the edge marginally. Beautiful

Sorry all! We’ve reached a compromise and seeing as baby is coming out of my vagina she will be Isadora and her middle name will be Claire to honour dh’s mum

Hurrah!

Isadora is so much prettier.

Isadora Claire is beautiful.

I preferred Isadora anyway :) Congrats!

Isadora Claire is beautiful.
