[Opinions] Dora
I fell in love with the name Dora. What do you think? Too dated? Comeback?

I like it as a nickname. It's sweet & nostalgic. I don't know how I feel about it as a full fn. I think it could stand alone, but you'd have to love it a lot to do that & I personally don't. I'd probably use it as a dog name before I'd seriously consider it for a child.
I do think of Dora the Explorer, but that isn't a deterrent to me. There was a show when I was younger called Allegra's Window & I'd still love to meet a little Allegra so I don't think the children's tv shows thing should put you off too much.

It's not the worst; not at all; but it rather lacks zing to my ears.
My mother knew a Deborah who went by Dora. I didn't think she'd gained any advantage!

Dumb image. Because "Dumb Dora" used to be a common saying, and because of ditzy Dora in "David Copperfield".
I love it!
I think Dora is really adorable! Of course she might have trouble with Dora the Expoler but I still like it. It makes a great nickname for Pandora or Theodora also.

I love it. It's not that common here, but it has been having a bit of a revival in the past decade.
I like it but having young children i cannot help but associate it with Dora the Explorer
Me too
That's the first thing that popped into my head, too ...
... and I don't even have kiddos.
