Autumn

17caterpillars1mouse · 30/08/2017 09:51

I like Dorothy the best love Dottie
Then Maisy though I prefer Maisie
Finally Autumn which is pretty but I think will date

Autumn , by a very very long way.

Dorothea is nicer than Dorothy tho.

villainousbroodmare · 29/08/2017 13:23

Dorothy. Autumn is a season but at least is adult-sounding. Maisy is graceless and infantile imo.

MammieBear · 29/08/2017 13:20

Dorothy for me as it gives many options and Conjures up some truly endearing thoughts of the wizard of Oz... You could even go Dorothea to edge it that bit more.

PandorasXbox · 29/08/2017 11:36

Dorothy is awful sorry. It's in the same bracket as Edna, Enid and Phylis. Maisie has been and gone imo. Autumn is by far the best option.

demirose87 · 29/08/2017 11:36

I like Autumn the most. Maisy seems overused these days and Dorothy is quite old fashioned but not in a good way. But thats just my view. Go with whatever name feels right for you.

em0290 · 29/08/2017 11:31

Maisy but personally prefer the spelling Maisie

autumngold6 · 29/08/2017 11:31

Autumn

Pibplob · 29/08/2017 11:27

Maisie. Spelt with an ie. then autumn then Dorothy.

early30smum · 29/08/2017 11:24

Maisy but I prefer the spelling Maisie. Autumn is nice too. I don't like Dorothy but so like Dorothea if that's an option.

I'd probably pick Maisy first, then Autumn.

Mrsknackered · 29/08/2017 11:22

Dorothy. Just because I love Dotty/Dot.

Not a fan of Autumn

WyfOfBathe · 29/08/2017 11:22

I love Dorothy. For me at least, it's the right level of popularity: well known and easy to pronounce, but there won't be 6 in her year group.

n0ne · 29/08/2017 11:16

Dorothy

Threeandabit · 29/08/2017 09:21

Dorothy

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 29/08/2017 09:14

I have a Maisie, so that's my choice.😄

CockPisssPartridge · 29/08/2017 08:56

Autumn by a mile.

Raines100 · 29/08/2017 06:12

Autumn

Sophronia · 29/08/2017 02:20

Dorothy.

Autumn is everywhere on here at the moment!

LadyB49 · 29/08/2017 02:01

Love Maisy, then Dorothy.
Don't like Autumn...... Sorry but I think it sounds chavvy.

Mclaren37 · 29/08/2017 01:47

Dorothy then Maisy then Autumn. But then Autumn is just not my style, seems more modern and trendy and I prefer vintage names like your other two. Clearly lots of people do like it!

PointlessUsername · 29/08/2017 01:46

Maisy
