ArchivesRenaming the Isadorables
The "Mother of Modern Dance", Isadora Duncan, frequently went on tour with six of her brightest students -- young girls whom the press dubbed "The Isadorables". Their names were: Anna, Erica, Irma, Lisa, Margot, and Theresa.
Because these names seem somewhat mundane, I was wondering whether anyone here might be able to suggest more artistic-sounding, unique, or interesting names for these girls to compliment the name of "Isadora", their mentor.
I thought of names associated with dance, or names taken from ancient Greek legend, or even the following anagrams:
Lisa + Isadora = Alissia Dora
Irma + Isadora = Marisia Dora
Anna + Isadora = Asianna Dora
Margot + Isadora = Gaia Storm Dora
Theresa + Isadora = Thais Reesa Dora
Erica + Isadora = Rosie Arcadia
But I'm still not quite satisfied. Wondering if anyone here can come up with better names to rename the Isadorables.

Woa, cool question, Sis :)
Its tough to do justice to a name like Isadora ("gifts of Isis")! I'll give a crack at the 'ol Anagram Oracle too, trying to fool a bit with the Isis theme.
* Anna ("grace" in Hebrew) Grace in Greek is Charis. Isis + Charis = Sissi Rachi
* Erica ("heather" in Latin). Isis + Heather = Seriah Sethi
* Irma (from irmen, Germanic element for "universal"). Universal + Isis = Silvia Sunrise
* Lisa (from Elisheba,"God is my oath" in Hebrew). Isis is my Oath = Myoshi Isatis
* Margot(from margarites,"pearl" in Greek). Isis' Pearl = Ilsa Spire.
* Theresa (from therizein "to harvest" in Greek). Isis' harvest = Sister Shiva.
I hope to dont feel the above exercise Isdeplorable :P

Okay, Nanaea, I'll have a try!
What about these:
I just tried to combine the "sounds" of the two names and find one or two other names. Well, the results are neither Greek or dance-related, but quite exotic! ;-)
Lisa + Isadora: Lisselotte
Irma + Isadora: Irmenburg
Anna + Isadora: Anne-Dorle
Margot + Isadora: Mardís Dóra
Theresa + Isadora: Tersia Doreen
Erica + Isadora: Iselin Eriksdotter
