Sibling Spotlight for Isadora - British Baby Names | Name News | Scoop.it
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
