My Mum is called Dorothy. She was named for the Wizard of Oz, which my granny apparently loved. I also love the film and as I was watching "Over the Rainbow" last year and saw it linked to all those pretty young girls, realised how much I also liked the name. So, thoughts? Is it actually a bit of a cartoon name? And is it odd to name a child after your Mum? I've only ever called her "Mum" of course so to me it's less tribute, more just coincidence that she has a name I like.
