The French verb, "adorer", meaning "to love", can be alternatively spelled, Adorée, pronounced: ah-do-RAY, for a "French" version of this pretty name.

First time I ever heard it was in the hilarious and highly recommended Terry Pratchett book /Going Postal/. One of the characters is named (very ironically) Adora Belle Dearheart.

You could call your daughter Adora-Belle if you really wanted.

A rather sweet sounding name.

Perfect name - if you live in Candyland.

Adora sounds very sweet, nice, and pretty.

Adora, pronounced "ə-DOR-ə", could be short for Isadora.

I'm rather fond of this name myself but like others have pointed out, its closeness to "adorable" gives it a sticky-sweet quality that doesn't suit or appeal to every little girl. Isadora gives her more flexibility; you could try Adora on for size when she's little and if she grows out of the nickname or rebels against it there are other options: Isa, Izzie, etc. But I do love Adora; it softens the hard, blunt Dora and its meaning is lovely. Could be used to honor a grandmother or other relative named Dorothy, Doris, etc., in a fresh modern way.

I'm not the biggest fan of Spanish names but Viviana, Adora, and Luciana win me with Spanish names. Adora is cute and classy!

It sounds corny as a name and looks like someone wanted a "fancy" version of Dora.
