I’m so in love with [name_f]Medora[/name_f] right now; I love the [name_m]Byron[/name_m] reference, and it just sounds so down-to-[name_f]Earth[/name_f]-exotic, and is still extremely rare in the UK. I don’t usually love -dora names (with the exception of Nymphadora) but this is so beautiful.
I say meh-dora, but do you think people would say ME-dora? I’m not sure.
What’s your general reaction to the name? Have you heard it before? Would sisters [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] and [name_f]Medora[/name_f] be very ‘off’ style-wise?
I think I like the way it looks more than the way it sounds. I do love the meaning though, “mother’s gift.” I would maybe need some time to warm up to the sound because it is new to me.
I didn’t know the poem but I do know about the ballet so my first thought went to the [name_f]Medora[/name_f] variation, which I absolutely love (especially the music is lovely).
For the name, I think it’s gorgeous. I like how it looks written down but the sound of it is beautiful, too.
It’s not too out there but not common, so a huge plus to the usability of [name_f]Medora[/name_f].
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] and [name_f]Medora[/name_f] don’t sound “matched”, meaning that one was chosen to go perfectly with the other name, however I can definitely see them as sisters.
I love -[name_f]Dora[/name_f] names, and I’ve got [name_f]Medora[/name_f] on my list; plus I love the meaning! I say Meh-dora as well, and even though it doesn’t ‘fit’ with [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] style-wise, they sound okay as sisters, and as long as you like both names, that’s what matters. 
[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] name. Sound isn’t that great, but the more I say it, the more beautiful it is.
Very pretty & fresh…I like it
I’ve not really seen it before, but I quite like it. I say meh-dora, and I imagine most would too. It’s nice and worth keeping around I say.
I did think [name_f]Midori[/name_f] and Medusa upon seeing the name, however, those ‘associations’ dropped away fairly quickly.
