I’ve been thinking about the name [name]Isadora[/name] recently, and am surprised that it isn’t more popular, given its similarity to [name]Isabella[/name] and the like. I really like it, and think the nickname options are lovely ([name]Dora[/name], [name]Isa[/name], possibly [name]Sadie[/name]). What do you think of it? Is the association to [name]Isadora[/name] [name]Duncan[/name] too strong? Any middle name ideas would be most welcome. I was also considering [name]Diana[/name], but I’m stuck on middle names again. Thanks! Bekah x
I love [name]Isadora[/name]! Like you, I’m surprised that it’s relatively underused, but I’m also glad it isn’t too popular. I had a thread about it months ago, and most posters said that the connection to [name]Isadora[/name] [name]Duncan[/name] isn’t too strong…
For a middle name, I think that word names are best avoided ([name]Isadora[/name] [name]Poppy[/name] --> Is a door a poppy?). [name]How[/name] long is your last name, and what letter does it start with?

Good luck! 
[name]Cecily[/name]- thanks for your answer! I do love [name]Isadora[/name] but did worry about the connection. Good to know that it shouldn’t be an issue and that it’s really quite rare. I see what you mean about Is a door a…! Our last name is 2 syllables and begins with a C. Thanks again! Bekah x
I like [name]Isadora[/name] a lot. I think it hasnt become popular yet because [name]Isabella[/name] spiked because of the -ella part rather than the isa- part. [name]Izzy[/name], [name]Sadie[/name], and [name]Dora[/name] are all cute nicknames. I don’t think the [name]Isadora[/name] [name]Duncan[/name] thing is a big deal. I didn’t even know who she was until I looked her up after you mentioned it.
I’m considering [name]Isadora[/name] [name]Delphine[/name].
I really like [name]Theodora[/name] and [name]Pandora[/name] also.
[name]Sadie[/name] is a name I hadn’t thought of,but how sweet as a nickname
[name]Diana[/name] is lovely.
Personally, [name]Isadora[/name] isnt my style. My style is more cool-sounding names that are fun.
Like, my faves are [name]Kerry[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] and Mitchie [name]Danielle[/name]. Much different then [name]Isadora[/name].
I personally think the reason [name]Isabella[/name] is so much more popular than [name]Isadora[/name] is #1: Because [name]Isabella[/name] has a more exotic feel, whereas [name]Isadora[/name] sounds like one of your ancestors. #2: [name]Isabella[/name] is a lighter, more friendly (at first) sort of name. I mean, who doesn’t want the bright ball of sunshine whom everyone likes at school and who will probably turn out to be famous or a teacher or some sort of social worker? that is most likely why [name]Isadora[/name] is not as popular as [name]Isabella[/name], because [name]Isadora[/name] is more emotional, dramatic, creative and is more likely to be an artist or a writer.
I think that (in a nutshell) [name]Isabella[/name] is labeled as more happy, popular girl and [name]Isadora[/name] is more dark, creative and a the tiniest bit more interesting.
After all is said and done, I like [name]Isadora[/name] more than [name]Isabella[/name]

I immediately think of [name]Isadora[/name] [name]Duncan[/name], but I danced all the way through college. I don’t think most people even know who she is. Either way, it is a cool name and I wouldn’t mind sharing a name with a dance pioneer, even if she did die tragically.
