I think the name is unique and special. It gives you a warm feeling. Adora. It has a beautiful meaning, gift, blessing, adoration. It is short and sweet. I love it.
Hello! I know your name is also Adora because you are here... Funny to say, I used to hate my name, Adora, because I got teased as Dora as in Dora the Explorer! But now I am getting used to it, I am loving it now. There's princess Adora of the She-ra story that I still haven't watched, there's a famous producer of big hits that uses Adora as her name, and a lot more person like actresses and business owners! I thought my name was unique... I just always think my name is as good as Adored, Adorable, Adoration, and many more! I am from the Phillipines, Asia.
Funny to see so many thoughts on the names especially since it’s mine! And guess what my middle name is Bella so, in short Adora Bella. Only met one other girl with the name Adora I used to hate it but I actually really like my name now.
I think this name is nice because of She-ra, which I used to watch a lot, and also because Adhara and Adara are great names with a similar sound.

Even though it is rather close to adorable it sounds sweet yet buisnesslike, strong yet intelligent. It also reminds me of Shera, which makes it seem strong. A name I would consider.
King Adora is a British rock band, known for such songs as Bionic (2001), Big Isn't Beautiful (2000) and Suffocate (2001). The band broke up from 2005-2009, but is now back together and touring.
Adora, pronounced "ə-DOR-ə", could be short for Isadora.I'm rather fond of this name myself but like others have pointed out, its closeness to "adorable" gives it a sticky-sweet quality that doesn't suit or appeal to every little girl. Isadora gives her more flexibility; you could try Adora on for size when she's little and if she grows out of the nickname or rebels against it there are other options: Isa, Izzie, etc. But I do love Adora; it softens the hard, blunt Dora and its meaning is lovely. Could be used to honor a grandmother or other relative named Dorothy, Doris, etc., in a fresh modern way.
First time I ever heard it was in the hilarious and highly recommended Terry Pratchett book /Going Postal/. One of the characters is named (very ironically) Adora Belle Dearheart.
