A lovely name with a ton of history that is overlooked and underused today!
Clare's insight:
Not a name I think about much, but it really does (I think) hit the sweet spot of being well-known but rarely used and not too tied to a particular generation.

Below is a selection of British siblings with Isadora, from the last century to modern times. The year relates to the decade of birth for that set. Brackets around the first name indicates that the person was called by their middle name.
Clare's insight:
My favourite middle name combinations are Isidora Nestra, Isadora Lovely, Isadora Isis (too much?) and (of course) Isadora Hilda.
My favourite sibling groups are: - The family with Isadora, Isabel, Oswald, Osbert...and Harold, Madeline and Aileen. - Asher Eos, Isadora Enlli, Ma'at, Eden Tarren (brilliant Hebrew-Welsh hybrids, plus Isadora) - Isadora, Agnes and Alfred in the 2010s
