HelpRe: Theodora/Dorothea/Isadora
in reply to a message by Frappuccino
Favorite to least favorite:
Isidora - I don't like the Isa* spelling, but spelled Isi*, it'd be my favorite; I think it seems elegant and has an interesting history, plus I like the sound
Dorothea - it sounds stately and sagelike but old-fashioned; the first people I thought of in connection were Dorothea Dix and Dorothea Brooke
Theodora sounds cute and clunky, probably because I associate it with Theodore / Theo (which are pleasant but sound trendy to me) and Teddy (bear).
The only one I'd use is Isidora, although I like Dorothea a lot for other people or as a character name.
