DH and I really struggling to agree on a girls name.

We both love Isadora and Liberty/Libby nn.

For me, Isadora edges it. For him, Libby.

Which one do you prefer??

Libby

Liberty

Much prefer Libby - Isadora is a bit frilly and fancy for me. I'm also of an age where wizadora (an old kids TV program) springs to mind when I hear it! Probably won't be a problem with her peers though.

ChickenFriedFudge · 18/06/2020 19:11

All for Libby so far! Thank you. Keep those votes coming.

I’d go for Isadora - nickname Dora. Teacher here with negative associations with the name Liberty/Libby!

userabcname · 18/06/2020 19:15

I love both! I'll vote for Isadora.

ChickenFriedFudge · 18/06/2020 19:15

Thanks @pixieN
Yes, just one can really ruin a name for you can't it!

I vote for Liberty ...would be on my list but sounds wrong with my surname

DoveGreylove · 18/06/2020 19:17

Isadora :)
It's just sounds a bit more grown up on a CV

MikeUniformMike · 18/06/2020 19:18

Of the two, Libby. I don't like Isadora - it's too long and too frilly without being pretty and I don't like Issy or Dora (sorry Aunty Dora).

Liberty is a nice name for a shop or printed fabric but not for a girl.

shartsi · 18/06/2020 19:18

Isadora

PenOrPencil · 18/06/2020 19:20

Liberty. Isadora sounds like a stuck up horsey bitch, sorry.

4amWitchingHour · 18/06/2020 19:21

Liberty/Libby.

I also thought Wizadora Grin

unstableunicorn · 18/06/2020 19:22

Another vote for Libby, I do think Izzy is kinda cute for short but not a fan of Isadora

QuintusEstInHorto · 18/06/2020 19:24

Isadora by a country mile! Isadora Duncan was awesome.

Liberty is Ok, but I dislike Libby as feeling prissy and wet.

Chartsandgraphs · 18/06/2020 19:24

Isadora

Russell19 · 18/06/2020 19:25

Isadora definitely 👍

HotSince82 · 18/06/2020 19:28

Isadora, great name. I would NN her Sadie Smile
I can't consider Liberty as a name snd Libby is a diminutive of Elisabeth so that option is a bit all over the place.

ChickenFriedFudge · 18/06/2020 19:30

@hotsince82 Why wouldn't you consider Liberty?

Statue of Liberty
Taking liberties
Liberty print.

Its just not a name, to my ears anyway. And Isadora is such a good choice. There's simply no comparison.

Mimimama75 · 18/06/2020 19:50

Liberty!

Viviennemary · 18/06/2020 19:51

Isadora for me.

Namechange8471 · 18/06/2020 19:51

Liberty.

Isadora is bit try hard.

Griefmonster · 18/06/2020 19:52

Isadora

Blingismything · 18/06/2020 19:55
