Trixie or Dolly

[Zeelove]

Beatrix (Trixie) or Dorethy/dolores (Dolly)....
Which is nicer? :)

Beatrix is a lovely name as is Dorothy, not as keen on Delores think it's mainly because of the meaning. If popularity makes a difference I'd say go with Dorothy or Delores.

Why change the spelling of Dorothy to Dorethy?
Cue lifetime of your child having to correct everyone's spelling

Just jumping in with a vote for Dolly

Dolly nn for Dorothy, but like Dotty/Dot too.

I think Dorothy is a lovely name, and Dolly is fine., not my cup of tea but nothing wrong with it. I prefer Beatrice to Beatrix, and again Trixie is fine but not my cup of tea, it sounds like a girl in a school-story comic ("Trixie saves the day!") which is not a bad thing.

Dorothy - very 1950s. Still feels old fashioned, not in a renaissance of old lady 1920s names (Lily, Hazel etc). Pros - not likely to be another one in her class. - There are two Dorothys in dd’s class. One is shortened to Dot. I like the name. Dolly is terribly childish but at least she could revert to Dorothy on moving up from Preschool.

Not a fan of Beatrix or Trixie personally.

Love both Beatrix and Dorothy, but love Dorothea even more.

Dorothy, Dotty, Dolly would be my choice. Hasn't done Dolly Parton any harm !

There are some great strong Dorothys - Hodgkin, Sayers, and yes, Dolly Parton.

Trixie is a good name for a small dog.

Beatrix nn Trixie is my fave of the two.
I prefer Dorothy to Delores and prefer Dotty as nn too, that's really cute.

There was a Delores nn dolly at my school. I remember her being excessively annoying and a bit of a cow but I don't remember her being teased at all.

Dorothea?

I know a little Dorothy and an adult Dorothy and they’re both referred to as Dotty

Totally agree about the bullying comments! It’s such a load of rubbish!

Of course it isn't! Fucking Dolly at senior school. Jesus wept.

I prefer Beatrix/Trixie both are fine.

If you go for Dorothy, please don’t misspell it.

DogWoman when was the last time you were in a school? I’ve said it multiple times but kids don’t give a shit what your name is nowadays. They are more likely to judge you on your trainers. It’s adults that have the issues here and are trying to say it’s the children🙄
