Autumn or Grace?

[JoannaLouise1201]

Middle name is Dorothy.

Thank you

There are a lot of graces around.

Autumn is different, unusual. Would it get shortened?

I love Dorothy!

Both good names. Neither go with Dorothy

Dorothy Grace works
Dorothea Grace (hmmmm)
Autumn Grace

Grace feels like a good middle name.

Autumn Rose (too twee?)

To carry off dorothy as a middle name needs a stronger first name. I cant think of anything it goes with.

My beloved dgm was Dorothy. I couldn't see my way to using it as middle name

How about

Iris Dorothy
Lena Dorothy
Leia Dorothy
Camilla Dorothy
Hazel Dorothy (nature name)
Charlotte Dorothy (this one i do think is a strong first name)
Eleanor Dorothy (also strong)

I'm not sure if Autumn would get shortened.

Does Dorothy really not go with either?

I prefer Grace Dorothy.

Dorothy is a fabulous middle name, but it would be an even better first name.

Dorothy Grace would be wonderful.

I like Autumn Dorothy

I thought it might be a bit out there for a first name?

It's unusual for a first name, but not too out there. And there's lots of nickname potential too. It's a lovely name

I agree Dorothy Grace is fab
Grace Dorothy doesn't even flow. It sounds very forced to say.
Grace is like May and Rose much nicer as middle names

I've thought out various combos but I think Autumn Dorothy Grace has a nice flow to it

No one uses middle names though, do they? I only ever say my DC middle names out loud once in a blue moon.

That said, Dorothy Grace is really nice. I know three Autumns! It's not really a name that really appeals to me though.

Grace Dorothy

Autumn, and Dorothy is fine as her middle name

Dorothy is a great first name! Could be little dot as a baby?

I think Dorothy as a first name too

Dorothy grace is lovely. I wanted it for DC2 but DH veteoed it because of (bad) family connections

Dorothy = Dotty! Adorable first name.

Dorothy Grace is lovely.

I don't really like Autumn - it's a little "out there", and if she's being born in this summer heatwave it's just strange.

Can’t stand Dorothy. Least stylish, elegant, sophisticated name imaginable. Deeply unsexy.

Don’t like Autumn or Grace much but they’re both miles better.

I love Autumn. I know one and she is beautiful, thoughtful and funny.

Not sure that it goes with Dorothy though, Autumn Grace sounds lovely though.

Grace as a middle name? No. It's become a filler middle name.
Dorothy is great but I'm not keen on Dorothea.
Autumn - not for a summer baby.

Deeply unsexy

Oh yeah, because that's everyone's main consideration when naming their children

Autumn I think is lovely but I always use diminutives or nicknames and find Autumn a bit awkward. I like Grace nn Gracie but it’s a bit unimaginative although perfectly pretty.
You very rarely use first and middle names in general conversation so just go for whichever you prefer and don’t worry too much about flow! I like Dorothy and Dotty is cute for a baby!

Children grow up and usually are adults longer than they are children.

Totally agree Mike and Grace,Autumn and Dorothy all suit an adult well.

I like Dorothy grace too.
