I'm quite old (60) but remember an act who did the rounds called Dottie and Dickie. Middle aged couple who performed naked. First thing that came to me sorry

I think the op is a wind up.

I would call a child Dottie/Dotty.

Wouldnt!

My husband has a great aunt who’s a bit bonkers. She’s known as the ‘dotty aunt’.

To me it’s a disparaging term. Too silly to be an actual name.

Hope she doesn't ever have acne

That names maybe sounds cutsie for a new baby, but sounds silly as a grown women. Why do folk do this? Why not get a puppy and call her Dottie?

I also think Dottie Louise flows particularly well.

I thought Lousie

Dorothea Louise is a great name
Dottie or LouLou both permissible

ManefesationofConciousness · 25/10/2022 18:15

Is the full name Dorothy or Dorothea shortened to Dottie?

Or Dottie as a full name?

clpsmum · 25/10/2022 18:09

Dottie is lovely. Ignore the people who say differently. Better than a lot of the boring names mumsnet seems to love.

How about
belle
Grace
Lou
Rae
Joy
Beth
Marie
Seren
Wren

Dalaidramailama · 25/10/2022 18:04

I LOVE the name Dottie. I would have spelt with the Y though.

Dottie Mary
Dottie Rose

Rosio · 25/10/2022 18:02

Dottie Louise

Dorothy Elizabeth - Dottie Betty

This - lovely

Goodoldvera · 25/10/2022 17:46

I love Dottie as a nick name for Dorothy Dorothea or even Dakota, the middle name is less important. Dotty is a slight insult so not appropriate as an official name for an adult imho. Dorothy Jean Dorothea Louise or Dakota Barbara...aka Dottie Barbie 😉

BellaVida · 25/10/2022 17:41

Personally, I would go for Dorothea or Dorothy with Dottie as a nickname, but appreciate Dottie is a name in its own right. Perhaps something longer as a middle name would be better like:
Dottie Beatrice
Dottie Madeleine
Dottie Rosalind
Dottie Lorraine
Dottie Francesca

hattie43 · 25/10/2022 17:37

Dottie Delilah

Dassams · 25/10/2022 17:30

Doesn't Dottie mean loopy/barmy?

SureThingy · 25/10/2022 17:30

Why are some posters giving their negative opinion on the name Dottie?

The op wasn’t asking if we liked it or not - she is asking for middle name suggestions.

Dottie Mary
