Matilda is very trendy at the mo so depends if that bothers you. Dottie is cute as a nickname!

Dorothy. Love Dorothy. It's so grown-up and serious, but there are loads of cute things you can do with it.

And congratulations!

Dorothy by a mile!

Dorothy!
One of the loveliest, kindest and most intelligent women I know is called Dorothy. She's also a doctor so affectionately known as Dr dot which is very cute

Matilda, Dorothy is awful, sorry.

Dorothy - Matilda is nice but there are lots of them.

Dorothy! DD2 was almost Dorothy but DP vetoed at the last minute. I LOVE Dora as a nn and am still a bit sad about it. Matilda is lovely but very popular round here.

Matilda is lovely, and I like the fact she was a mediaeval queen.
