I prefer Grace. I know a little girl who is a Dorothy but goes by the name of Dotty. I am not keen.

Dorothy, it's lovely.

Sophronia · 14/06/2017 11:01

Dorothy!

ILookedintheWater · 14/06/2017 10:35

Sooo many Graces at the moment.
Dorothy is charming and lots of NN options.

Blomme · 14/06/2017 10:24

Grace nn Gracie.

Joeybee · 14/06/2017 10:22

Like both names quite a bit. Prefer Grace though.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/06/2017 21:52

Dorothy Grace

Dorothy Grace is beautiful

disastrousflapjack · 13/06/2017 21:18

Congratulations. I love the name Dorothy. Years ago I worked in a reception class with a little Dottie. I thought it was really cool and really suited the little girl. There's quite a lot of Graces at the moment and although it's a lovely name, I prefer Dorothy.

jollyjester · 13/06/2017 21:04

I have a Grace so I'm biased.

Love Dorothy as well. Congratulations! Flowers

ew1990 · 13/06/2017 21:01

Grace is the top of my list - just need to wait for 20 week scan lol xx

Jojobythesea · 13/06/2017 20:59

Love Dorothy, was one of my choices. Dot for short Smile. LOADS of Graces in my boys primary school.

Thetruthfairy · 13/06/2017 20:50

Dorathy is really cute, love it (but I must say, if I think about myself as the baby, and what I would have wanted to be named, Grace wins).

SuperBeagle · 13/06/2017 20:48

Grace.

I don't like Dorothy but I do like Dora a lot and would choose Dora over Grace

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/06/2017 20:44

Grace.

MollyHuaCha · 13/06/2017 19:54

Grace, it's lovely (unless she is clumsy)

MikeUniformMike · 13/06/2017 19:52

Dorothy Grace. If she doesn't like Dorothy she could use Grace.

oldjacksscrote · 13/06/2017 19:49

I love the name Dorothy, I know someone who is called Dottie and I think its a lovely name. Grace is a nice name too but its quite popular.

Jooni · 13/06/2017 19:45

I'd go with Dorothy. Grace is pretty but they are everywhere. Baby Dot - n'awww...

Fozzleyplum · 13/06/2017 19:39

Definitely Dorothy or Dorothea. Nothing wrong with Grace, but sooooo popular a few years ago. The nns for Dorothy are so good, too - Dot, Dotty, Dolly, or Thea if you have Dorothea as the full name.

I'm not at all biased (fab, dear departed grandmother and very-much-alive cat called Dorothy and Dotty respectively)!

Fink · 13/06/2017 19:38

Dorothy/Dorothea is a great name. My middle name. It means gift of God. I've always thought it's lovely. Grace is ok but quite overused.

I'm not really sure which one she suits the best Sad

Dorothea is nice, but DH thinks it's too fussy!
