Dorothy

[redredholly]

Do you like it? I do but am not 100%

It's bad.

I love it. It was my grandmothers name. She was totally awesome :)

I love it

I know a really sweet 6 year old. She goes by Dottie and loves her name!

It's lovely.

It's awful, really, really awful, sorry.

Love it - it's my mothers name and Dd's middle name

Yep, Theodora with Thea for short?
Dorothy, for me, just conjures up images of old ladies, the kind who knit incessantly, and bite chocolates and put them back in the box half-eaten when they realise it's not a soft centre! It also makes me think of cat-loving spinsters.

Theodora means the same

I love it, wanted it for DD but was overruled.

I like it. There are two Dots in dd's reception class.

Totally biased but it's a beautiful name.

Everyone around here says DOR-thee and that makes the name hideous to me. With pronounced correctly I think it's ok. It's certainly not a graceful name, but it has spunk.

*if pronounced correctly, sorry.

I dont like it too much

Hideous. You asked.

My nan was Doris.. She was always called Dot though. If I was having a girl she was going to be Dolly.
So Dorothy could be Dot, Dotty, or Dolly! I like it.

Ugly

My mum's cat is called Dorothy. She gets called Dozzer.

Your DD might get called Dozzer too, don't do it.

I quite like Dozzer

I like Dorothy. Agree it's a classic that's due a revival.

I adore Dorothy. If I have another daughter, she will be a Dorothy.

Hm seems opinion is quite divided. Those who do like it, what other names do you like? Perhaps I can copy you x

I like it. Other names I like also if interested are:

Margot
Leonora
Theodora
Delphine

Love it
