Can't decide between these three names. Which is your pick?

Nina
Nerina
Dorothy

Middle names; Paige, Faye or Eden.

Prefer all the middle names to the other three

MikeUniformMike · 26/08/2017 15:00

Nina Fay is good.

MikeUniformMike · 26/08/2017 14:53

I like all of them but Nerina is the one I like least.
Nina is great so that would be the one I'd choose.
I like Dorothy shortened to Dot.

Coey2016 · 26/08/2017 11:38

Nina Eden

Liadain · 26/08/2017 11:36

Dorothy is awful imo.

I like Nina. I think all the middle names sound fine.
Nerina is fine, but would lean towards Nina myself.

daisypond · 25/08/2017 18:21

Nina.
I much prefer Dorothea to Dorothy.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/08/2017 18:17

Nina Faye

ZuriWanders · 25/08/2017 18:16

Nerina Paige/Faye

SuperBeagle · 25/08/2017 10:06

Lotus For me, Dorothy is The Wizard of Oz which I can't stand, or the green dinosaur from The Wiggles.

My grandma was a Dorothy and got called Doll

MissClimpsonsTypingBureau · 25/08/2017 09:09

Nina Paige
Nina Faye
or Dorothy Eden

LotusBlossom1 · 24/08/2017 22:33

Surprised by how many people don't like Dorothy! I think it's lovely.

Turquoise0wl · 24/08/2017 15:11

Dorothy Faye

early30smum · 24/08/2017 10:21

Nina definitely.

flickertee · 24/08/2017 10:00

NINA!!!!!

Threeandabit · 24/08/2017 09:42

Dorothy...I blame Dot Cotton for this name not being more popular.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 24/08/2017 09:23

Nerina Eden.

n0ne · 24/08/2017 08:55

Love Nina. Like Dorothy. Nerina I just find odd.

17caterpillars1mouse · 24/08/2017 07:36

Definitely Dorothy Eden

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 24/08/2017 07:35

I'm another one who likes Nina Faye.

On a side note, I prefer Nerine to Nerina, but it doesn't really fit with your middle names.

KingPrawnOkay · 24/08/2017 07:32

The middle names are lovely but not keen on any of the first names. If I had to pick I'd go for Nina, definitely not Dorothy though.

PaganGoddessBrigid · 24/08/2017 07:31

Nina

MammieBear · 24/08/2017 07:30

Dorothy and Nina again here!

Argeles · 24/08/2017 07:22

Nerina is a beautiful name.

I really like Nerina Eden.

highinthesky · 24/08/2017 07:13

Nerina reminds me of neisseria - a nasty pathogen - but hey that's just me.

Dorothy feels a bit old fashioned. Nina by a process of exclusion but I prefer Gina by a mile, sounds far more grown up.
