Baby brother to Dorothy

[Motherofcats007]

Hi,

We are expecting a boy and we are looking for name suggestions!! Our daughter is Dorothy Claire and we think baby boy’s middle name will be John, last name starts with M, two syllables.

Throw me some suggestions please :) thank you!!

Wesley

The young Dorothy I know has a brother called Edmund, although I'm not certain how it would sound with your 'M...' surname. It's a very solid, proper name.

I think someone has already suggested Francis - Frank.

Ernest
James
Charlie
Henry
Arthur
Stanley
William
Sidney

Duncan, Nicholas and Stephen spring to mind for me with Dorothy.

I immediately thought Edward or Henry

Toto

Cedric
Harold (nn Hal)
Edwin
Barnaby

Bartholomew
Jeremiah
Malachi
Archibald
Josiah
Milo
Jago

Diggory 😁

Thinking about it another way of Dorothys/Dorotheas I have known and their husbands

Raymond/Ray
William/Bill
Henry
Frederick/Fred
Ernest
Stanley/Stan

Rupert John

Dorothy and Rupert were made to go together

Leo or Ozzie 🙂

Edmund
Duncan
Jasper
Orlando

Edwin
Walter
Wilfred
Cyril
Cedric
Sidney
Stanley
Leonard
Arthur

Daniel

Eric
August
Hector
Rufus
Victor
Digby

It should be a slightly oldfashioned name (like Dorothy), from the 1920s to 1940's/

Escape to the CHateau (TV ) has a Dorothy and Arthur, I always think a well chosen pair of names.

Desmond
Frederick
Theodore

I know a Dorothea whose brother is Humphrey.

We ended up calling him Nicholas :)

Ooh, my suggestion! Nice one, @Motherofcats007 and many congratulations

Charlie.
Frank
Ray.
Harold

Oops didn't see the update!

I love the name Dorothy - and Dorothy Claire sounds gorgeous together. Like a PP said can understand how you want to have a great name for DS too! And like you said OP boys name really are more difficult aren’t they! Though when I saw DD was Dorothy I instantly had Stanley come to mind so my vote is on Stanley John as little brother to Dorothy Claire 🥰

Oh didn’t see the updates or dates either!! Congrats 👶🏼
