Name ideas

[Bunny26]

Hi all I am due to have my baby at the end of September and we have found out we’re having another little girl! Our 18 month old is called Dottie and would love something to sort of match her name, I’m looking for something girly and delicate just like Dottie is, also not a name that’s too popular as when I was pregnant with Dottie everyone loved her name when I told it them as it’s not often heard of and it’s such a cute name🩷

I currently love -
Honey
Minnie
Daisy
Polly

but my partner isn’t keen on them

Maggie?

Maisie
Posie
Poppy
Connie
Bonnie

Hallie
Callie
Tallie
Emmy
Ember
Annie
Etta
Robin

I think you might be overdoing it with Dottie and those options - it would make them sound like a brand of toddler pyjamas. Is Dottie short for Dorothea?

Maybe Dottie and

Pippa (Philippa)
Robin
Tessa
Cassie (Cassia / Cassandra)
Emmy (Emmeline etc)
Clemmie (Clemantine)
Cece (Cecily, Cecilia)
Jasmine
Flora
Nina
Sadie
Nancy
Clara
Gigi (Georgina, Georgia)
Marnie

Elsie
Betsy
Amelie
Florrie (Florence)
Fliss (Felicity)

Out of your suggestions I would pick Daisy or Polly. I would say Polly is less popular out of those two (where I am at least)

Other ideas:

Dottie & Aubrie
Dottie & Trixie
Dottie & Effie
Dottie & Hettie
Dottie & Pearl
Dottie & Winnie

Don’t go for Honey, I know one and she is going through the process of changing it as it’s so obviously “sweet” a name and she feels people have expectations of her because of it.

Polly is lovely, also love PP suggestion of Pearl - Dottie and Pearl are great.

Margot
Sally
Lana
Emmie
Clara
Melody
Melissa (Missy)

dottie and Betsy
dottie and Millie
dottie and Tilly
Dottie and Elsie
Dottie and Winnie
Dottie and Ivy

I wouldn't want another '-ie' ending.
I'd choose a one syllable name, like Pearl, as suggested ... or a longer name.

I love Polly!

Dottie and

Peggy
Bonnie
Betsy
Effie
Flossie
Nellie
Posy
Mali
Hallie
Callie
Indi
Tilly
Connie
Winnie
Maggie
Dory

Avoid Daisy as though it’s lovely it’s popular and shares initial. Others are lovely.

dottie and…

cora
hazel
cassie
joni
edie
flora
willa
rosa
etta
connie
june
iris
nora
nellie
penny

Dottie and
Betsy
Libby
Elsie

Annie.

Dottie is a very cute name!

Does your partner have any ideas for a name?

Edith

Dottie and Sadie
Dottie and Posy
Dottie and Ellie
Dottie and Maisie
Dottie and Hailey
Dottie and Rosa
Dottie and Millie
Dottie and Tessa
Dottie and Lola
Dottie and Pippa
Dottie and Elsa
Dottie and Anya
Dottie and Bella
Dottie and Nancy
Dottie and June
Dottie and Jenny
Dottie and Sally

I wondered about Lottie or Poppy but they're too similar to Dottie.

It's a difficult brief. Dottie is a unique name.

The only thing that comes to mind as delicate and feminine is Gretel or Greta. They don't have that old lady vibe but I'm sure you've already considered Ivy, Mabel, Sally, Sylvia etc.

As a complete departure but keeping it feminine and to two syllables, I wondered about Stella.

Polly is lovely.

I suggest Mabel. I do like Dottie and Mabel together.

Or maybe Betty? As an aside, I've named the two collared doves in my garden Dottie and Betty.

Yes he really likes Lainey but I just don’t like the fact that it’s short for Elaine🙈

Lainey doesn’t need to be short for Elaine, I’ve always thought of it as a name in its own right.
