Dot

We have decided on Delyth for our daughter.

DH had a dearly loved grandma called Dorothy, known as Dot, and would like to honor her by adding the name as a middle name. We agree that Delyth Dorothy is a bit too much, but does Delyth Dot Surname sound like an email address? Is that even a problem?

TIA

You could use Derith Dorothy to get more alliteration. Derith isn't used much.

Delyth Dorothy sounds better than Delyth Dot.

It's dire. Dorothy is nice.

Delyth Dotty?

Dot doesn’t work, unfortunately.
I’d just use Dorothy.

Both names do sound quite dated to me though.

I would use Dorothy.. I love that name.. my dd is Daisy and dot is her nickname xx

that sounds absoloutely adorable.

if i have a child in the future i'd be considering naming them dorothy just for the excuse to call them dot.

Dot as a middle name absolutely sounds like an email address.

What’s wrong with Delyth Dorothy? It’s lovely.

I love Dot, but agree with others that it doesn’t work as a middle name, but what about Dotty?
