Help[Facts] Re: Isadora/Isabet and Isabel
in reply to a message by ClaudiaS
Also, Isabel / Isabella is a very old, classic name in English and in many European languages (Isabelle, Isobel, etc.) - therefore, most people recognise it (and its multiple historical, religious, and literary associations).
Isadora has always been a much more unusual name, rarely used in English. For this reason it lacks many of the things that appeal to parents in Isabella, though the names sound quite similar.
Alexandrina, Annabella, Clementine, Charlotte, Emilienne, Florence, Frederica, Katharina, Mary (May), Maud, Penelope, Rosamund, Theodora (Teddy).
Aubrey, Axel, Benedict, Bertrand (Bertie), Cuthbert, Dashiell, Everard, John (Jack) Leopold (Leo), Magnus, Matthias, Maximilian (Max), Wilfred.
