Autumn, and Dorothy is fine as her middle name

Grace Dorothy

No one uses middle names though, do they? I only ever say my DC middle names out loud once in a blue moon.

That said, Dorothy Grace is really nice. I know three Autumns! It's not really a name that really appeals to me though.

I've thought out various combos but I think Autumn Dorothy Grace has a nice flow to it

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 03/07/2018 02:21

I agree Dorothy Grace is fab
Grace Dorothy doesn't even flow. It sounds very forced to say.
Grace is like May and Rose much nicer as middle names

It's unusual for a first name, but not too out there. And there's lots of nickname potential too. It's a lovely name Smile

I thought it might be a bit out there for a first name?

I like Autumn Dorothy

DramaAlpaca · 03/07/2018 00:44

I prefer Grace Dorothy.

Dorothy is a fabulous middle name, but it would be an even better first name.

Dorothy Grace would be wonderful.

I'm not sure if Autumn would get shortened.

Does Dorothy really not go with either? Sad

Both good names. Neither go with Dorothy

Dorothy Grace works
Dorothea Grace (hmmmm)
Autumn Grace

Grace feels like a good middle name.

Autumn Rose (too twee?)

To carry off dorothy as a middle name needs a stronger first name. I cant think of anything it goes with.

My beloved dgm was Dorothy. I couldn't see my way to using it as middle name

How about

Iris Dorothy
Lena Dorothy
Leia Dorothy
Camilla Dorothy
Hazel Dorothy (nature name)
Charlotte Dorothy (this one i do think is a strong first name)
Eleanor Dorothy (also strong)

There are a lot of graces around.

Autumn is different, unusual. Would it get shortened?

I love Dorothy!
