Dorothy!

[EmiliaBassano]

My friend had a little girl yesterday. She is beautiful!

Her name is Dorothy. And her middle name is one I've not heard anyone named who was born in my lifetime - Julie!

I just think it is so cute. A lovely example of older names coming back, not off the wall, just really sweet.

Love Julie.
Not so keen on Dorothy.

She may end up as Dot or Dotty. I like it.
I had a lovely glamorous Aunt Dorothy, she was beautiful, funny and always had a little sweetie in her pocket for me. 🩷
Julie is a French name, all the Julie's I've known have been nice.

I love Dorothy! Dot and Dotty.

I love dorothea

I know a 3 year old called Julie, it really suits her!

I met a young Dorothy known as Dora recently. She was a cool young woman. It was my Nan's name too.

Lovely.

Awful especially Julie

Oh I love Dorothy!

I like both names. Proper traditional sounding names.

I meet a lot of chikdren on my linebof work and have seen quite a few Dorothys of ks1 age

I like Julie but prefer Julia or Juliet. I hate Dorothy, its very old fashioned and while I see older names coming back e.g. Arthur, Evelyn, this is not one I have heard yet. I did meet a Dora recently (Arthur's sister) which I quite like.

Dick and Angel Strawbridge's daughter is called Dorothy. I love it and especially like Julie.

Why are they awful?

I don’t think that they go particularly well together - but I am delighted for you and your friend and a safe and happy birth!

Definitely not keen on Julie :-/ Julia not so bad or Juliet
Don't like Dorothy but Dottie is cute

The baby is named after grandma and great grandma.

I've met a couple of young Dorothys and a Dorothea. Not my favourite, I really like Julie though.

They are both brilliant!

I teach a 16 year old Dorothy . She never shortens it and I love the name. It’s refreshing and due a come back .

I love Dorothy as a name with Dottie as a nickname

Dorothy is coming back. There’s one at DD’s nursery too. I like it!

I love it, Dot/Dotty are cute nicknames too
Not as keen on Julie, but as a middle name it’s fine
Prefer Julia/Juliet

We actually met a beautiful little Dot today 4 months old and full name Dorothea

My DGM was Dorothy and my DM had Dorothy as a middle name. DGM was known as Doll or Dolly to her friends. I think I prefer Theodora which is essentially the same name (gift of the gods) but in reverse
