Isidora

The name Isidora is really pretty, I also really like Isadora. Both are pretty, elegant, and timeless names. If you have this name, you are definitely really lucky to have it.

My name is Isis, so when I found out Isidora meant “gift of Isis” I thought it would be pretty cool to have a daughter named Isadora/Isidora not only because I like it, but also because of the nice meaning. Isis is the goddess of magic, fertility, motherhood, healing, and rebirth. So that’s nice.

I really like the spelling Isidora (over Isadora) for some reason.

I know I would personally rather meet an Isidora than another freaking Isabella... This name is very pretty and very unique. I think if you named your child Isidora you'd get a lot of compliments for originality. Although, to be honest, I can't imagine seriously calling someone Isidora. And I'm not too fond of izzy or Dora either.

This is my mom's name. I think it suits her well. I like that it's not too common and the sound of it is nice.

A true favorite of mine, and a much better alternative to the currently overused Isabella and Isobel. I'm not too crazy about the potential nickname Dora, but it's still a fantastic name, and an excellent choice for a daughter.

Please don't let this or Isadora (though I prefer it spelled Isidora) become popular! I really love this name, and am planning on using it in the future. But I fear it becoming popular, because I think that takes away from its uniqueness & charm!

Definitely one of the best names I have ever heard of. It has everything going for it, I especially like that it's bi-lingual, used in all the Slavic speaking countries, in Italian, English, Spanish. You could not go wrong with this name.

You posted this 6 years ago, but I still wanted to reply because your comment made me laugh a lot! I feel the same way as you about some names, I feel scared to even mention them to people in fear of people discovering them and making them popular!

I think this is a genuinely lovely name, although it reminds me of Isabella, for some reason. In which case, I think it would be a great alternative. :)

It's striking, but it's too old-fashioned for acceptable first name material. I like that it's so multilingual and it's rare in nearly all the languages it's used in. It would go very nicely as a middle name with a two syllable first name accented on the second syllable -- Marie Isidora, Celine Isidora, Joann Isidora.

I have a very nice friend named this, I would rather use this as a middle name because it is a little old fashioned.
