I quite like it, but I'm not keen on any of the short forms. Most of the ones I know use the full name, but two are known as Doll.

I'm not sure if I like it but I love Dot as a nickname.

I like Dorothea but it's a bit poncey. Isn't it?

I wouldn't have appreciated being called Dorothy. I'm all for old fashioned names but this isn't one of them.

I really like it and think it is classic.
