I just purchased Hawksley burns for Isadora by Hawksley Workman. My boyfriend and I are huge fans of Hawskley's music and want to somehow get him to play our first dance song at our wedding. He's like a big thing for us. So I was looking at the title and thinking "Isadora hmm I think I kind of like it..."
This is probably the closest I'd ever get to naming a future kid for a song or musician but:
What do you think of Isadora?

Reminds me of the dancer Isadora Duncan.

I like it a lot. I've always found it far preferable to the overly-frilly Isabella.

Reminds me of Isadora Duncan. It's all right.

Dora Dora Dora the Explorer.. I don't know the rest.

I think that annoying big-headed brat ruined all 'dora' names for a little while.

It's also a makeup brand. A good makeup brand, IMO.. but yeah.

I actually quite like it. Also if you nicknamed her "Dora", that means "gift" which is always nice. Plus, I'm a big fan of naming children after something that's meaningful to you, eg. a song/musician/whatever.

i think it's great! i like it better than isabella, it's stronger to me somehow, and just as feminine.

I love it.

not a fan of Dora as NN (mainly b/c of the kids show- which is wonderful, but the song is annoying)

I've never heard of this name. How is it pronounced? Izza-dora... Ice-a-dora...something else?

I adore it! (no pun intended). I think it's much more lovely and unique than Isabella. Dora or Dory can also be a cute nn if it fits. :)

I LOVE it. I think it's super pretty and so much more unique right now than Isabel.

I have no clue who Hawksley is but Isadora sounds like a really neat name. Just how would you go about explaining it to your daughter? Just curious. I'm all for the name!

I think it's gorgeous, and way underused.
