Full name for Dottie/Dotty/Dot

[pricelessdancer]

Hi I love the name Dottie/Dot but I want a longer version incase she wants to use later on in life. I'm not overly keen on Dorothy or Dorothea. Can you think of any other names that could use this nickname or could I just use it as a nickname and call her something completely different or would that be odd and confusing for the child?! Thanks!

Dottie’s horrendous for a full name. It’s like calling a child Daftie or Dippie. Nickname, ok, but the OP’s totally right about wanting to give the poor kid a sensible alternative.

As for ‘cute’ that’s only a good thing for babies & toddlers.

Diane, Diana?

Dorrit.
