Dorothea I about the best. Don't really like any of the first names. Like the 3 middle names though.

frums · 29/03/2017 07:00

Thanks all.

Dorothea is clearly the winner of the vote with Maude second. I think those our ny two favourite but I still can't decide between them.

I love Thea so vote for Dorothea Catherine
(Prefer Theodora but that's just me!)

NiceCuppaTeaAndASitDown · 29/03/2017 07:44

@frums, why not Dorothea Maud?

Mrsknackered · 29/03/2017 07:47

Wilhelmina
Because I absolutely love Willa

Dipsydora · 29/03/2017 07:53

Dorothea 100% please not Maude it is ugly in the way I knew it was ugly as a child and my opinions really haven't changed on it. So close to mold not what a little girl wants.

Dorothea Catherine is beautiful

Redpramlady · 29/03/2017 08:04

Dorothea Catherine for me!

ShuttyTown · 29/03/2017 08:09

All hideous

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 29/03/2017 09:15

FRUMS, choose Maude Violet, it's beautiful, strong and classy. 😄

OwlDoll · 29/03/2017 09:18

Maude definitely (even though it was the name of my Dh's first love)

regularbutpanickingabit · 29/03/2017 09:21

Can't you have Dorothea Maud? Sounds cool!

amymel2016 · 29/03/2017 09:24

Maude Violet, beautiful!

MumOfTwoMasterOfNone · 29/03/2017 09:47

They aren't my cup of tea OP so I can't say I like any over another. Please don't be offended, you probably wouldn't like my name choices as I can tell many don't, but it doesn't bother me as I don't like theirs either Grin

daisypond · 29/03/2017 10:05

Dorothea - nn Thea.

Rockaby · 29/03/2017 10:13

Another vote for Dorothea. So many nice nn options. Maude is slightly nicer I think and I like the Maude Gonne / Yeats connection, but it has fewer options. It depends how much you care about nn potential Smile!

TrueBlueYorkshire · 29/03/2017 10:21

Dorothea Catherine - at least it is easy to spell over the phone: Delta, Oscar, Romeo, Oscar, Tango, Hotel, Echo, Alpha, new word, Charlie, Alpha, Tango, Hotel, Echo, Romeo, India, November, Echo.

marmitecheesetoast · 29/03/2017 12:38

I love the name Maude, but not keen on Violet.
I like Dorothea Catherine too

ThereIsIron · 29/03/2017 12:44

None of the above

Shockers · 30/03/2017 22:33

I don't understand why someone would come onto a thread asking for a vote on one of three chosen names to say, "None of the above."

Why bother?

MikeUniformMike · 30/03/2017 22:35

Dora. I also like Dot.

BrutusMcDogface · 30/03/2017 22:40

Dorothea really doesn't go with Catherine. Like Thea though. Can't think of Dora without saying in my head "the explorer".

BrutusMcDogface · 30/03/2017 22:42

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

Grin at squoosh!

Theodora is nice too.

YolandiFuckinVisser · 30/03/2017 22:45

I love Maud. I won't be having any more children so my dog got the honour of holding this name. I don't see it as a dog's name though...

April229 · 30/03/2017 23:34

Dorothea violet?
