Was gonna say Snotty Dottie but someone beat me to it 😂

Theskyisfallingdown · 02/11/2022 14:44

OP you posted a thread liking the word ‘truly’ for a name, so why not

Truly Dotty

Theskyisfallingdown · 02/11/2022 14:43

This is a dotty rose. It’s not a name, it’s a description of an object.

@miffmufferedmoof I didn't actually ask for opinions on the name.

Ann. Anne. Something really simple.
Jane, after another thread this week?

miffmufferedmoof · 01/11/2022 18:21

Everyone saying how lovely a name it is, are you not aware that it means crazy/loopy/batty?
You can’t do that to a child!

Dorothy Charlotte aka Dottie Lottie love it

@merrymelodies @ManefesationofConciousness don't be so bloody rude

Not rude, just kindly suggesting one of the (many) nicknames your daughter is likely to be called by her peers. Behind her back or to her face.

I know a woman called Hattie who then chose to go by her middle name professionally.

I don't blame her. Who would want be known as a little 🎩 hat?!

@merrymelodies @ManefesationofConciousness don't be so bloody rude

In what way rude?
I made a number of suggestions based on what come to mind

Dottie Doodah is a real name- its a well know phrase

NKFell · 26/10/2022 12:38

I too would say a strong middle name.

I've known a Dot (other than Cotton) over the years - I've never known a Dottie or Dotty and I'm 70

TheBirdintheCave · 26/10/2022 11:32

What @Theskyisfallingdown means is that when naming someone you should take into account that combining two commonly used words is going to sound like a sentence. Dottie is a nickname yes but it's also an adjective. In the same way that you wouldn't use something like Violet Rose or Sunny Joy perhaps its best avoiding using a noun as a middle name for a girl who will be nicknamed Dottie.

Dassams · 26/10/2022 11:31

But dotty and dottie sound the same. An adjective meaning full of dots.

I don’t appreciate being called names for pointing out an obvious fact.

It isn't an obvious fact though

LeMoo · 26/10/2022 11:14

@Theskyisfallingdown no, that's a Jenny Wren

Dottie as a name is long established

Dotty as a word is different
