Isaura
My partner's mother's name is Isaura (ee-zow-ruh). When she came to Canada as a young child it became anglicized - and she now goes by Marie. Ew. What do you think of Isaura? I love it.===

It's ok, but the first thing I thought of is: dinosaur
This isn't necessarily bad though...

I tawt Isaura puddy tat!... is the first thing I think of when I see it. Which is just a curiosity, really. I guess I'd think it was alright if I met one. I'd expect to be dismayed by the number of North Americans who said eye-SORE-a or ih-SORE-a, though. ee-ZOW-ra sounds unattractive to me, personally ... unless I imagine it spoken with the right accent. I think I'd have gone with Marie too, if I were her, just because it's familiar enough not to confuse anyone.- chazda teh breeder!!!1

At first glance, I'd assume it was pronounced ih-SAHR-ah or ih-SORE-ah. But if the "zow" in ee-zow-ruh rhymes with COW and WOW, not sure how I feel about it. :-/ Either way, it's certainly better than Marie, though. :b

I love Marie--I think it's absolutely lovely. Isaura is fine for someone else, but it's not something I'd ever consider.Array

I don't know if I would actually use it, but it's beautiful.

I think it's very pretty. It has a lovely sound and it just looks nice.

I've never heard of it before. It's very different and unique without being ostentatious. I like it and much prefer it to Marie.
