Hi all I am due to have my baby at the end of September and we have found out we’re having another little girl! Our 18 month old is called Dottie and would love something to sort of match her name, I’m looking for something girly and delicate just like Dottie is, also not a name that’s too popular as when I was pregnant with Dottie everyone loved her name when I told it them as it’s not often heard of and it’s such a cute name🩷

I currently love -
Honey
Minnie
Daisy
Polly

but my partner isn’t keen on them

I wouldn't want another '-ie' ending.
I'd choose a one syllable name, like Pearl, as suggested ... or a longer name.

dottie and Betsy
dottie and Millie
dottie and Tilly
Dottie and Elsie
Dottie and Winnie
Dottie and Ivy

Don’t go for Honey, I know one and she is going through the process of changing it as it’s so obviously “sweet” a name and she feels people have expectations of her because of it.

Polly is lovely, also love PP suggestion of Pearl - Dottie and Pearl are great.

Out of your suggestions I would pick Daisy or Polly. I would say Polly is less popular out of those two (where I am at least)

Other ideas:

Dottie & Aubrie
Dottie & Trixie
Dottie & Effie
Dottie & Hettie
Dottie & Pearl
Dottie & Winnie

I think you might be overdoing it with Dottie and those options - it would make them sound like a brand of toddler pyjamas. Is Dottie short for Dorothea?

Maybe Dottie and

Pippa (Philippa)
Robin
Tessa
Cassie (Cassia / Cassandra)
Emmy (Emmeline etc)
Clemmie (Clemantine)
Cece (Cecily, Cecilia)
Jasmine
Flora
Nina
Sadie
Nancy
Clara
Gigi (Georgina, Georgia)
Marnie
