Last question I promise!

love it

delilah88 · 28/09/2012 13:18

Do you think it is very out there? Or do you think most people would understand it?

No, it's not 'out there' at all! A classic name, surely?

Love Dorothea, pronounced both Doro-thea and Doro-taya. Great underused name!

MrsJohnDeere · 28/09/2012 13:20

No

I'm glad you think it's classic, rather than just saying "old lady". I think so too.

Excellent nickname potential too.

(haven't seen any of your other threads)

Classic name - suprisingly underused given it ticks the current 'old lady' box quite well too. And lovely shortenings (Thea for me, but also like Dory)

janie2 · 28/09/2012 21:12

yes, it's lovely!

Love it. If DC3 is a girl she will be a Dorathea. Love the Middlemarch connection. Love the nicknames Dora, Dodo, Dotty and Thea.

Sorry I meant "Dorothea" not "Dorathea"
