My Dorothy was nearly Penelope. My thread asking for opinions is here.

Also, mine is known as Dotty or Dots which seems to meet with fairly universal approval but I have had people pull faces when I tell them her full name is Dorothy so it's clearly not to everyone's taste!

Love it.
My beloved morris minor was called Dorothy before I had to sell her to buy a boring grown up car cos of stupid DS and car seats etc.

Anyway, great name.

My great aunt was called Dorothy. She hated it from very young and was know her whole life by a completely different name. I also know a Dorothea who is in her 70s. She also hates her name!

I really like it!

I love the German pronouncitation of Dorothea more than English tbh. In German it's 'more like 'doro-teya'
