[name\_m]Not[/name\_m] going to say who, but I saw an influencer who named her daughter [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] [name\_f]Belle[/name\_f]. I read it as A-doh-ra, but in the comments she stated it was to be pronounced [name\_f]Adorable[/name\_f], do we love or hate it? ---

As a first and middle, I do think it’s a little cute, although I probably wouldn’t do it myself, and I don’t necessarily think she should have. As a double first though, I think it’s too much. ---

i think it’s sweet! [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] is lovely, and she doesn’t have to go by “Adorable” since it’s her first and middle! 🤍 ---

This is literally the name of a Discworld character… who iirc doesn’t like her name very much and prefers the nickname [name\_m]Spike[/name\_m]. ---

[name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] is sweet, but I’m not a fan of the full combo. [name\_m]Not[/name\_m] only is the pronunciation a bit unintuitive (I do say [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] like the first part of adorable, but [name\_f]Belle[/name\_f] doesn’t read like the “ble” to me), it also feels a little bit…infantilizing or patronizing, almost? Something about only giving your daughter the name/title of “adorable” just feels very icky and misogynistic to me — like you’re tying her whole identity (and worth, when looking at it as a wider impact) to being adorable and her looks and “sweetness.” Again, [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] is fine, and [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] [name\_f]Belle[/name\_f] is nice, but I’m not a fan of saying it like “adorable,” and I’m glad that their daughter has [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] as a first rather than the full combo as a double barrel. ---

Names like these make me wish we could fast forward 20-30 years and see how many celebrity kids actually keep their names. I don’t see this one sticking around. ---

I like it as a guilty pleasure but not really for a real child ---

I love [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f], but [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] [name\_f]Belle[/name\_f] is tooooo sickly sweet and I agree that it’s lowkey patronising ---

I’d say it’s stupid. [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] and [name\_f]Belle[/name\_f] are nice names, but putting them together to form as word is stupid. ---

agreeing with general consensus that I don’t like it, but I didn’t think of the word adorable when I first saw it actually. [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] is a really cute name though! ---

[name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] is perfectly wearable. It’s the middle name that makes it silly. I honestly don’t think [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] [name\_f]Belle[/name\_f] is any worse than some of the names I see thrown around on this site though. ---

Agreeing with everyone else. [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] is nice on it’s own, but with [name\_f]Belle[/name\_f] and the specific intention of it sounding like [name\_f]Adorable[/name\_f], it’s sickly sweet and as @readingreverie put very well its a bit patronising. ---

I think [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] is perfectly wearable and can grow up with the daughter, but [name\_f]Adora[/name\_f] [name\_f]Belle[/name\_f] as a whole feels like a name specifically made for the baby/child while she’s young and not one that can translate well into adulthood. Sometimes people need to realize they’re naming future adults, not just babies that will stay babies.
