Baby names

I just can't name this baby girl! It's impossible.

If she was a boy, I have 2 names sorted (4 - 2 first and 2 middle!)

I'm very happy though, but just can't name her. I hate names that I used to like and I just don't know what to call her. I'm just bored of the ones I loved.

I'm very keen on Dorothy! I don't even know why! I do prefer it for a middle name though. Madeleine Dorothy? Eh, I'm just not keen. Really like Maddie though. Just don't know really. SadSad

I hate this.

Lois
Miriam

Dorothy is a fabulous name. Loads of nice nn and wasted as a middle name IMO

I'm not personally a fan of Dorothy but I can see it's a nice name.

How about Madeleine with a different nn to Maddie, like a pp said. Linny (pn like 'tinny' or like 'Lie-ny', depending on how you pn Madeleine).

Otherwise how about,

Haven't read whole thread but read your title and thought -

Maisie or Marcy/Marcie.

As you were.

Dorothy is lovely. Dottie or Dolly for short.

Surely Adriel is a boys name?! Dorothy is gorgeous. Be brave! Dorothy Susannah?

But Dorothy is a really lovely name:)

I like Dorothy :) Also think Dorothea is wonderful. If you like Maddie how about Marnie? Or something that can be shortened to Mattie?
