I think
Ben works for all the names beginnig on
Ben-, but for
Reuben I prefer the nn
Rube.
I really like
Isadora, but I don't feel it's that strong, more frilly then. It has a floaty quality to it, poetic. Like
Isadora Duncans dancing.
I have had bad feedback too when I've mentioned it as a possible name for my offspring. They just wont see the pretty in it. :)
Isadore for a man is too feminime IMO.
Btw,
Ben and
Isadora fit together well.
