Opinions on the name
I love the sound of the name but I really dislike the nickname [name_f]Dora[/name_f].
I think it’s beautiful, but like @bellerose I’m not a fan of [name_f]Dora[/name_f]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the nn [name_u]Isa[/name_u], though!
This has long been a GP for me! I had [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] and [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] on my list for years, but took both off because I found that, even in passing, friends or family would shorten the name to [name_f]Dora[/name_f].
I like it, but more for someone else’s kid as it’s a wee bit frilly for me.
Neither like nor dislike it.
I like [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] a lot! I had it as my top girl name for a while, with the nn [name_f]Sadie[/name_f].
I like it a lot!
I’m neutral, but I think the [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] nickname would be much more natural than [name_f]Dora[/name_f], and that’s pretty cute (if slightly overused for all the little Isabellas out there).
I love it, it’s on and off my list a lot. I also don’t like the nickname [name_f]Dora[/name_f] that much but I’d instinctively go to this if I was to use it, which is what I think is preventing me from ever keeping it on my shortlist.
I love [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], what I find off-putting is the “is adorable!” joke that will pop up. My cousin is almost seventeen and named [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], so she has always gotten “Is a bell, a’ringing?”
