Oops, pressed send to soon. It was on my list for DD, but DH vetoed it. Same with Sylvia.

I like it.

Dot and dotty

Dotty and dotty is a nickname for Theodora too

It's on our possible list too. I love the nn dot.

I like it, and I love the nickname Dottie. Smile

I like it and would use Dory as nn

Optimist3 · 12/10/2016 04:29

Dislike Dorothy but delphine is nice.

WanderingTrolley1 · 12/10/2016 03:39

I think it's an awful old-fashioned (not-in-a-good-way) name.

Due for a comeback.
Just warn your Dorothy that if she ever visits Australia she'll be dubbed Doz or Dorro.

Love it

Sorry, hate it, makes me think of a 50yo librarian.

catmombaby16 · 12/10/2016 02:39

In fact if we have a girl we are planning on Dottie after my Nan who was Dorothy
