Katherine, Dorothy, any other suggestions?

[motherchuckinhen16]

I would like a Katherine (Kitty as a NN) but also quite like Dorothy (Dora) and Bryony if we have another girl. Which do you prefer and any other name suggestions of this type of name?

Katherine and Dorothy are both lovely. They'd also go well as first and middle name in either order. I like Bryony less and 'Bry' is not a nice diminutive.

Dorothea
Theodora (Thea/Dora)
Beatrice/Beatrix (Bea)
Henrietta (Etta, Hettie)
Harriet
Margaret (Greta, Margot)
Edith

Eleanor (Nell, Nora)
Hazel

❤️ Katherine.
How about Briar, instead of Bryony.
Emmeline
Rosalie
Adeline

Katherine is lovely

I really like Katherine and Bryony. Dorothy is ok but I'm less keen.

I'm sensing that you might like solidly classic but underused?
How about:

Alison, Caroline, Christina, Catriona, Daphne, Emma, Frances, Henrietta, Juliet, Josephine, Jacqueline, Lucinda, Lillian, Lavinia, Miranda, Marianne, Natasha, Philippa, Ruth, Rosemary, Rosalie, Stephanie, Sylvia, Tabitha, Vanessa, Winifred

I like Dorothy best.

Louisa
Clarissa
Emmeline
Harriet
Josephine
Miriam
Ianthe
Violet
Meredith
Faith
Edith
Victoria
Cassandra
Estella
Jemima
Felicity
Pearl
Serena
Anthea
Charlotte
Veronica
Tabitha
Robyn
Daphne
Elspeth
Tanith
Sophia
Juliet
Florence

... and Francesca.

Sarah
Sally
Annabelle
Jennifer
Carolyn
Georgina
Penelope

Juliet is a very good call. I think Judith is under used personally.

Anne
Mariana

I prefer Bryony

Anita
Rosemary
Helena
Louisa

Interesting that Louisa has been suggested a few times this is my DDs name :-)
We have nieces and cousins with a couple of other suggested names. I like Jemima but DH has vetoed it.
We have a long surname so I'd prefer a name of 6 letters or less ideally :-)

Ok, how about - Louisa and:

Aurora, Adele, Astrid, April, Bronte, Blythe, Clara, Claire, Delia, Esme, Elise, Faith, Greta, Hannah, Helena, Honor, Imogen, Iris, Julia, Karen, Lucia, Maria, Mary, Melody, Martha, Nancy, Nadia, Nina, Rachel, Sarah, Sasha, Tara

Another vote for Katherine.
Like Dora but not Dorothy.
Bryony sounds like an adjective. Bryonish?

Rosemary
Agatha
Margaret (Maggie)
Rosanna
Ruth
Jennifer (Jenny)

Katherine is more timeless, whereas Dorothy is an old lady name which was out of fashion for a couple of generations, is now hip again, and will be out of fashion again within a few years. (I also think Dotty and Dolly are really twee and don't work on an adult, whereas Dot makes me think of Dot Cotton, so the nickname options aren't great.)
