Dorothea Catherine (nn Dora or Thea)
Maude Violet
Wilhelmina Anne (nn Willa or Nina)

I have a Dorothea! She's 2 now and we call her Dot.

I like Dorothea, but I prefer Violet as a middle name.

Maud!
I'm actually jealous. It's on my list for baby number five...which isn't happening.

Maude Violet is lovely

Maud is the only one that is acceptable. Actually it's quite nice.

I can't believe so many people like the name Maud. It sounds like a sad groaning noise to me.

Dorothea is the best of those three.

Maxim and Nina, also Willa is beautiful too.

Love the background to your names

I'm trying to picture a mini Maxim (I do like the name) but all I can see is a dashing Laurence Olivier being a bit shifty about his first wife 😄

I am not a huge fan of your first names at all. I do like the stories behind your choices though. Can I suggest you rethink middle names - Dorathea Catherine is a mouthful with the repeated TH sound and it is cumbersomely long. One of the other middle name choices would be far better.

Dorothea Catherine

Dorothea Catherine

Dorothea Catherine nn Thea.

Dorothea Catherine gives her lots of options, Dot,Thea,Kate, Katie and Cathy b I would go with Thea.

But not b!

Dorothea Catherine is lovely.

Maude, with the 'e'. It has a lovely back story for you both.

But it was also my Grandmother 's name, so perhaps I am a bit biased.

Like them all. Love Maude!!

I don't like Dorothea or Maude so would go for Wilhelmina although it's very unusual and I have never met one.

Dorothea Catherine.

I like Wilhelmina too, but only with Billie as a nickname.

I like Dora, so that's the only reason I'm choosing Dorothea.

All lovely! Maude Violet has the edge for me

Thea Catherine (don't like Dorothea, or the others).
You're overthinking the nn.

I think they're all lovely. (I have a cat called Maud, but only because I ran out of daughters). Was the literary character Dorothea Brooke? She is kick-ass and would be an excellent character to be named after.
My dd16 thinks that they are all lovely names to but thinks that, during the early years of secondary school, she would have felt self-conscious about being called Wilhelmina.

It must definitely be personal opinion because all these names summon up images of old ladies to me. I wouldn't saddle a child with any of them. But the least worst is Dorothea.

I prefer Dorothea

My DD is Theodora who was going to be Thea but ended up as Dora

Going for Dorothea - you could nn her Dory like Dory Previn the singer
