Hi I love the name Dottie/Dot but I want a longer version incase she wants to use later on in life. I'm not overly keen on Dorothy or Dorothea. Can you think of any other names that could use this nickname or could I just use it as a nickname and call her something completely different or would that be odd and confusing for the child?! Thanks!

You could go the other way around with Theodora.

Theodora?

was going to say its usually a shortening for Dorothy I think Dorothy is a lovely name actually and dottie is so cute I like it too.
I cannot think of another name it can be a shortening of. I also love Doris I love the old traditional names.
