I love Dora and Alice but my partner prefers longer more unusual names. We have decided that we can both get what we want by choosing a longer version of the names I like.
For Dora we have
Dorathy
Dorathea
Theodora
Teodora
DP says these are all too normal other than Dorothea, but we know a little Dorothea who goes by Thea so would want to avoid that one.
For Alice we have
Alicia - Horrible girl I went to schools with name
Althea- can't make my mind up on it.
Any others?
