Re: Theodora or Isidora?
in reply to a message by Aine
I adore both Theodore and Isidore, the female versions just never seemed to pack the same kind of awesomeness. Theodora seems very, very bookish; I know a girl named Isadora who was teased from about the ages five to sixteen by being called Wizardora. I think Isidora over all. I link the I-a vowel change in Isadora, but it looks a bit cumbersome and has the word 'sad' in it. Petty, I know. I prefer Isidora. I think. Issy is a nice nickname (definitely not spelt Izzy) but I'm not so fond of Dot. Thea's an okay nickname for Theodora, or Tea (I actually know a Theodora who went by this. She liked to pronounce it like the drink, which was kinda nifty when you got used to it, but the 'correct' pronounciations given are also nice). I hate Dora. I honestly can't think of any other suggestions.
