I love Thea so it would have to be Dorothea Catherine for me!

None of them are really my style but Dorothea Catherine is the best out of the 3.

Wilhelmina because I love Willa- would say perhaps Mina would nn rather than Nina though?

Maude?! Really? Please don't!

Dorothea is the best by far!

Dorothea (the lovely Dorothea I know is known as Dori which I also like).

Maude Violet.

Maud Violet is fabulous!

Dorothea Catherine is a bit clunky, I quite like Dorothea (Middlemarch fan here) but Catherine doesn't go well with it IMO.

Wilhemina Anne, not keen on this at all, especially Willa.

Dorothea Catherine for me too; I like Dora as a nn better than Thea.

I actually love Maud (no e; and the nn Maudie); but have to say I can't stand Violet.

Not at all keen on Wilhelmina!

All of them are lovely! I like Willa and Nina for nns.

I like Dorothea, but I don't think it goes with Catherine. The ea doesn't roll naturally into a C iyswim. Maude Violet is lovely. As would be Dorothea Violet. Love Willa, but Wilhelmina is a big name to take on.

Dorothea is lovely. Could be shortened to Dot or Dotty also?

Dorothea is the best out of the selection. Thea/Dora are reasonable and so is Dotty. Maude and Wilhelmina I find quite drab names.
