Middle name is Dorothy.

Thank you Smile

Yes. A lot of the frilly names around now e.g. Arabella, Seraphina, Valentina, Liliana are not all that practical IRL and will get shortened.

Dorothy Grace

I know a Liliana who doesn't shorten.

I'm not in to frilly names that you couldn't image an adult with, but neither would sexiness be something that I would consider when naming my child, if your comment was aimed at me @Mike. I can't imagine that's an unusual opinion really.

Autumn is ok if it’s an Autumn baby or has Autumnal colouring, otherwise it’s weirdly inapt.

I’d go for Autumn Grace just to be done with Dorothy.

Ahh love the name Dorothy!
Would you consider than as a first name?
If not then I think Grace Dorothy gets my vote.

I wouldn't think of sexiness but I would avoid something frumpy. Wasn't aimed at you Emma198.
I would definitely avoid a name that might be a stripper's stage name.

Autumn for an autumn baby or if the season is particularly significant to you. :)

MariaMadita · 03/07/2018 14:47

Autumn Dorothy is imo cute and a bit quirky :)

I also like Autumn Dorothy Grace :)

TatianaLarina · 03/07/2018 18:06

Frumpy is exactly what I was referring to, I’m not advocating stripper names...

MikeUniformMike · 03/07/2018 18:58

I don't think Dorothy is particularly frumpy. Dot or Dotty are good nns and you could have Doll or Dolly too.

TatianaLarina · 03/07/2018 19:00

To me it’s the epitome of frump.

Autumn Grace is lovely.
