[Facts] Hey, all you guys from Poland---Isidora?

So, in one of my stories, the main female character is a Polish woman named Ariadna. I doing some reaserch for another area of the book and it came to me what the perfect middle name for her--Isidora. But before I officially changed her name to "Ariadna Isidora Malinowska", I came to this site and looked for it. There is no Polish feminine form of Izydor that is listed here, so I was just wondering if you guys used Isidora or any similar feminine name, or if I just have to give my character a new middle name.
I know that other European countries, such as Germany and Slovenia use names that aren't of their own language so I wondered if giving her a non-Polish name would be that big an issue.
Thanks!

Polish form is Izydora

I'm from Poland and I can tell you that the feminine form is Izydora. It's listed in the name day calendar.

The name days. I should have thought as to check there. :-)
Thanks, you two! I like Izydora, too. It's so nice and cheerful-sounding.
Merry Christmas!

You mean a list on this site? I didn't look there, I found it in a Polish book I have.

There is a name day list on BtN, yes, but I couldn't find Izydora there. Isidore is apparently April 4.
