Nickname for Doris

[NicknameForDoris]

What nickname would you use for Doris?

Dorrie or dot

Doris short for Dorothy? Dot, Dotty, D, Thea?

Dodie

I know a Dotty - she's 2 years old.

Please don’t call a baby Doris!

Dot

I have a friend with a Doris who calls her Diddy or Do. As a big Gavin and Stacey fan, the name always makes me think "Oh, Doris, where's the salad?"

I’ve always liked the name Doris, but dh absolutely vetoed it! I’m not British so maybe it helps I don’t feel the old fashioned vibe attached to the name Doris.
Dot would be the most obvious nickname I’d say, but you could probably use Do (pronounced ‘Dough’)?

Nana?

Dore or Dot.

Do (said as doe) is the only one I've heard. It's a short name anyway, I don't think it needs or lends itself to a nickname.

I think id go with Dot.
I know someone with a Doris and I think they just dont shorten it. I think its a cute name.

Dodie is short for Dorothy, but would work for Doris too

Dolly

Dory. As in ‘Finding Dory’, the sequel to ‘Finding Nemo’.

Dorrie or Dot

Why not? It's cute and unusual yet everyone will know the name and not hard to spell.

My Mum was a Doris and absolutely hated it. She was always known as Dot to her friends, and in her later years was known as Dottie.

@Enko this is exactly why we like the name

I would disown my parents as soon as legally possible if they lumbered me with Doris.

Sorry, ma and pa, but those ties would be cut.

I think you mean shortening. Nickname is something completely different

DeeDee

Dodie which I like more than Doris

I'm not really a fan of old lady names, but in parts of SE England a girlfriend is called a Doris so would put me off
I'd probably use a NN like Dixie because it's cute and different

I don't think you can shorten it really.
Nicknames usually evolve so if I had a Doris I would probably be all sing songy with the name and it would go from :
"Come here Doris Horis Moris"
Which would turn into "DoriHoriMori".
Which would turn into "MoriMoo"
Which would turn into a 12 year old randomly saying "Why does everyone call me Moo?"
