Dorothea Catherine

Dorothea Catherine. By a long, long way.

sidonie1 · 27/03/2017 21:39

Maude Violet is just gorgeous - love it!

weebarra · 27/03/2017 21:39

Dorothea Catherine, definitely!

CocoLoco87 · 27/03/2017 21:40

I love Thea so it would have to be Dorothea Catherine for me!

heateallthebuns · 27/03/2017 21:42

Yeah Dorothea best choice!

Kazzawazza69 · 27/03/2017 21:42

None of them are really my style but Dorothea Catherine is the best out of the 3.

QueenCassiopeia · 27/03/2017 21:44

Wilhelmina because I love Willa- would say perhaps Mina would nn rather than Nina though?

Sophronia · 27/03/2017 21:44

Wilhelmina Anne nn Willa

Firsttimemama2017 · 27/03/2017 21:44

Maude?! Really? Please don't!

Dorothea is the best by far!

pericat · 27/03/2017 21:45

Dorothea (the lovely Dorothea I know is known as Dori which I also like).

Cosmicglitterpug · 27/03/2017 21:46

Maude Violet.

AdaColeman · 27/03/2017 21:48

Maud Violet is fabulous!

Dorothea Catherine is a bit clunky, I quite like Dorothea (Middlemarch fan here) but Catherine doesn't go well with it IMO.

Wilhemina Anne, not keen on this at all, especially Willa.

Fridgedooropen · 27/03/2017 21:48

(Doro) Thea Catherine.

PaperdollCartoon · 27/03/2017 21:48

Maude Violet! Dorothea second. But Maude is so lovely.

Imaginingdragonsagain · 27/03/2017 21:51

Dorothea Catherine

MaroonPencil · 27/03/2017 21:51

Maude Violet, definitely.

Wayfarersonbaby · 27/03/2017 21:53

Dorothea Catherine for me too; I like Dora as a nn better than Thea.

I actually love Maud (no e; and the nn Maudie); but have to say I can't stand Violet.

Not at all keen on Wilhelmina!

ScarletSienna · 27/03/2017 21:53

All of them are lovely! I like Willa and Nina for nns.

Katkin14 · 27/03/2017 21:53

I like Dorothea, but I don't think it goes with Catherine. The ea doesn't roll naturally into a C iyswim. Maude Violet is lovely. As would be Dorothea Violet. Love Willa, but Wilhelmina is a big name to take on.

Sunnygirl22 · 27/03/2017 21:54

Dorothea is lovely. Could be shortened to Dot or Dotty also?

mrsBeverleygoldberg · 27/03/2017 21:55

I don't like any.Blush

Normandy144 · 27/03/2017 21:56

Dorothea is the best out of the selection. Thea/Dora are reasonable and so is Dotty. Maude and Wilhelmina I find quite drab names.
