It was my nan's name too - she was called Dolly when she was a child which is pretty but as she got older it was Dot, which isn't so pretty!

My little girls middle name is Dorothy after her late great grandmother. I think it's really sweet.

Dot is so sweet!

Awful. Even though it was my grandma's name

As you are asking;no.

I'm a Dorothea, i absolutely hate Dorothy, my name was shortened and the wizard of oz teasing was horrendous.

I now love my name, but purely because I refuse to answer when called Dorothy.

Be aware though ime it will be spelt wrong regularly and pronounced with an E so spelt and pronounced as Dorethy.

Dorothy is a very pretty name!

Makes me think of Dorothy Gale in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum.

It's gorgeous

Lovely name but l only like Dorrie as a short version. Know a Dorrie and always love her name. In her 30s

PosyPrettyToes · 18/09/2023 22:59

I love it. I know two. One is in her 30s and goes by Theo, and one who is 9 and goes by Dolly.

Not for me, I like Dotty but Dorothy isn't for me

No, it´s my great aunt´s name, she must be 100 now, it´s an old ladies name. Prefer Dorothea.

I only know one Dorothy, she hates her name with a passion and only uses her middle name. Can’t say I blame her.

My grandmother was Dorothy, she hated her name therefore we gave DD it as a middle name.

I love it ❤️
