opinions on the name dorothy?

[ABWilk]

i think i love it, but i dont know... i like the nn dot and dotty/ie.

its between dorothy and 2 other names atm

Love it!

In fact if we have a girl we are planning on Dottie after my Nan who was Dorothy

Sorry, hate it, makes me think of a 50yo librarian.

Love it

Due for a comeback.
Just warn your Dorothy that if she ever visits Australia she'll be dubbed Doz or Dorro.

I think it's an awful old-fashioned (not-in-a-good-way) name.

Dislike Dorothy but delphine is nice.

I like it and would use Dory as nn

I like it, and I love the nickname Dottie.

It's on our possible list too. I love the nn dot.

Dotty and dotty is a nickname for Theodora too

Dot and dotty

I like it. May I ask what your other names are OP ?

I like it.

Oops, pressed send to soon. It was on my list for DD, but DH vetoed it. Same with Sylvia.

Dorothy is old fashioned even for 50 year olds! Awful name sorry.

It was my nan's name. she would have been in her 90s and even she hated it.

It's cute! Wizard of Oz connotations though. Going to Kansas?, there's no place like home, where's Toto...Still would use it if you like it.

In Cider with Rosie, Laurie's sister is Dorothy, nn Doth.

I like it. It's my brother's cat's name.

She gets called Dot, Dotty, Doz or Dozzer

I prefer Dorothea...

i LOVE Dorothy!

I love Dorothy!

I like. I like Dorothea even more. Dorothea can be Dora, Thea, Doro, Dodo (like in Moddlemarch), Dotty, Dot.

Love it, if I have a daughter in the future it will be on my list!

Love it

I love it!

I love it!

But can I just add something for the youngsters in here. I'm 50 and don't know a single person called Dorothy so it certainly isn't a "50 year old name".
It's more of an 80/90 year old name. It's still beautiful though.
