for wanting to my name my potential DD, Dorothy?

[SoleSource]

It was my GM name.

Do you like/dislike the name?

AIBU?

Like a lot.

Know one who is 1 year old - aka Dotty.

YANBU to like a name YABU for not posting in Baby Names

I like it, love Dotty as a nn as well. Problem we have is that DD1 loves "Dorothy the Dinosaur" from The Wiggles.

Cute. I have a good friend called Dorothy and she's lovely .

I think if you have a special reason to use it and you love the name you should use it. I don't personally like the name, but no offence intended.

Dotty sounds really cute. :)

I would use the Nn Dorie I like it!

I havent heard of Dorie.

I love it.

love it, my mums name.
you could consider Theadora or Dorothea instead which is a derivitive, then she could be Dora or Thea.

YADNBU.

Thank you for all of your replies :)

It's horrible.

Doro is quite nice and different too as she would get older.

Aw... then all her mates at school will be friends of Dorothy...

I teach a Dorrie- she's lovely.It's a thumbs up from me.

I think it's lovely.

I'd be a Friend of Dorothy!

Lovely :) Who/ what has put you off?

I think it's lovely. Dotty is a cute nick name too.

I like it.

I think it's lovely and am considering it too. I'd use the nn Dora. DH is having none of it though!

It's my grandmother's name. I'm not keen. Sorry.

I haven't met many Dorothy's. I felt it might be greatly disliked. Not many Gertrude's either, or am I wrong?

I think it means 'gift from God'. It's a lovely name.
