Sibling for Dorothea

[ElmtreeMama]

I like Atticus and Tabitha

Any other suggestions :) x

Has to be Celia if a girl -- the name of Dorothea's sister in Middlemarch.

Atticus is one of my all time favourite boys names ever. My husband vetoed it every single time and I still wish I could've used it!
Dorothea and Atticus, what a stunning combination!

Both nice

Adela, Marianne, Cecilia, Leonora, Cassia, Anna, Louisa, Vivienne, Christabel, Francesca, Emmeline, Caroline, Henrietta, Georgiana

Tobias, Nathaniel, Augustus, Josiah, Francis, John, Gabriel, Silas, Rufus, Rafe, Hugh, Edmund, Victor, Ernest, Julius, Lucian, Cassian, Hector

Theodore :)

Love Dorothea!

How about Clara and Quentin?

Thank you all

I love some of these!!

Is Theodore not too similar?

I love Dorothea. I think Atticus and Tabitha are both lovely and go really well with Dorothea.

I think Theodore was a joke

I like Atticus, Quentin and Tobias.

Dorothea is a beautiful name. Do you use her full name or do you shorten it to Dotty or Thea or Dora or another nickname? That could have a bearing on the name you choose? My suggestions are Clementine and Sebastian.

Tabitha is cute.

My friend has a Dorothy (Dottie) and Atticus.
I was going to suggest Tabitha.
I think you've chosen wonderful names, OP. I actually think you've nailed it! But just for fun:

Ophelia
Clementine
Ottilie
Aurelia
Matilda

Rex
Otis
Aslan (maybe a bit of a handle because of LWW, but I met one once and thought, now that is a name!)
Ansel
Silas

I would love Dorothea and Theodora 🤩

Seriously so many beautiful name suggestions and definitely some contenders!

She is usually Dorrie or Dottie, though I personally call her Dorothea :)

Casaubon for a boy of course!

How funny, I was going to suggest Tabitha before I opened the thread!

I don't like the name at all myself, but it goes very nicely with Dorothea.

Not sure if it's been suggested already, but Cecily would go well too.

Yes to Atticus for a boy.

Intrigued to know if you are a Middlemarch fan OP? I loved the passage in that about Dorothea "But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs."

@Philandbill

I'm not, but that passage is lovely! I'm going to write it out for her now

I also really like Emmeline and Clementine

I love Clementine.
Evangeline, too.

The first thing that popped into my head was, Dorothea and Felicity.
