Is Dorothy too old fashioned?

[zscaler]

I absolutely love the name, my husband does too, and it’s one of the few girls’ names we really agree on. It also has a very meaningful family connection on both my side and his.

But is it too old fashioned? Will we be saddling her with a cumbersome, out if date name?

It’s a beautiful name go for it!

It's beautiful, and the whole "friends of Dorothy" thing is old hat now. Dorothea is pretty too.

Makes a refreshing change I think.

Dorothy isn't old fashioned, it's a classic name that is growing in popularity. I like it.

I love Dorothy. If ds2 had been a girl he would have been Dorothy.

Love it

It’s wonderful, I love it. I like Dorothea as well.

It's lovely and in this time of rainbows everywhere then a name that is 'somewhere over the rainbow' is especially apt.

Love the name, it’s an old fashioned one but a nice one

Love it!

Great name! I have an Auntie Dorothy (who is 93 and she's just beaten the dreaded virus!) Love it when old names make a come back

Really love it. Was on my girl name list, but I had boys instead.

I think it's lovely. Others obviously do too as it has been moving up the name charts for a few years

We nearly went with Dorothea. Part of me is still sad we didn't. Our daughter would've made an awesome Dot.
